"The Very Thought of You"

 

winter / pink camellias bud / ready for spring   /as
valentine's wreath / a silk ribbon attached / to memories   /ct
the fire smolders / she silently mouths "I love you"   /gb
my wishes / at the bottom of the fountain / a full moon    /kk
with buds to build / and skies to touch / roses stretch their stalks   /sm
exposed to culture / another kind / of flu shot    /kk
did I wake you / perhaps / it was the sneeze   /gb
the card shop / streamers dangle / over the queues   /gc
pink cloth / under  champagne / sparkling glasses   /as
"The Very Thought of You" / playing in the background   /gb
each year / the satin candy heart-box / bigger   /kk
a pasture / in the shadow of the crook / two lovers kiss    /jd
the eyes have it / a certain look / heating up the room   /gb
buttoning my shirt / the roughness of clothes / after you    /gb
before breakfast / the scent of you / lingering    /jg
hitting the snooze button /yet again / yet again    /jg
midmorning sun / the old rooster / still crowing    /kk
garden gazebo / remembering  / our romantic afternoon   /jd
