Daytime Sketch

I ache as my defences rise
and your faint fumes consent
This artist wears a daytime sketch
longing to rework events
Sleep pulls another paperback
across my eyes
Postcards falling free
written on
and left behind
memories of light
you took with me

  1. This could have been two different poems. I love this part (sorry I chopped it in 2):

  2. Thanks Dicky

    yeah it does seem like two different poems.

  3. I like the idea of "postcards falling free, written on and left behind". Very wistful and lovely.
