he came in
a slow moving storm
voice that reminds you
of something so soothing
free of form
warm honey
"come in, she said I'll give ya shelter from the storm."
full of openness
she studies his hands
stories on the tips
of every finger
steady
"come in, she said I'll give ya shelter from the storm.
his gaze is long
waiting for any discrepancy
in hers
that could send him back
into that atmospheric
pressure
"come in, she said I'll give ya shelter from the storm."
she takes his hand in hers
holding without holding
full of comfort
warmth
place to rest his weary soul
bearing all
"come in, she said I'll give ya shelter from the storm"
rhythmic dance
words hanging in the air
floating free
hushed voices surrender
to the waning hours
"come in, she said I'll give ya shelter from the storm"
it had been 29 years
since he had rested
his trust in anyone's heart
a scary proposition
her hands remain open
"come in, she said I'll give ya shelter from the storm"
too weary to carry on
he found his head
resting in her lap
where he could finally
have a peaceful rest
under her watchful gentle gaze
"come in, she said I'll give ya shelter from the storm"
never had he known
such kind comfort from
a complete stranger
those simple words
forever etched upon his soul
"come in, she said I'll give ya shelter from the storm"
he knew he could always return
that she would not cause harm
she was his safe haven
in this crazy fucked up world
that had had his heart on the run
she embraced him
that's all he had ever wanted
or needed
a nice long rest
in the comfort of love
the words were always there
and true
"come in, she said I'll give ya shelter from the storm"

Author's Note
Happy February .. where love should be celebrated every day .. not just one day where the pressure is as severe as a storm to show the one's you care for love... in case no one has ever told you .. that's not how this works, thats not how any of this works .. ♡

💖 I'm reading this book titled The Blind Man's Garden by Naseem Aslam. Every line is poetry. At one point he says, Love is recognizing the loneliness in another.
This writing has tender sensibility that is heart aching and warm.

💖 Thank you so much Daniel for your warm comments as well as sharing the book you are enjoying which is a new introduction to me, which I had to check out and am now the new owner of as well.

Dear J,
To open your heart like this to a stranger in need of a hug is colossal as well as how the world is “supposed” to behave towards one another. I loved the tenderness of this poem. Beautiful piece with a beautiful message. H🌷

Dear H,
Thank you so much for your beautiful comments .. very much appreciated as was the taking for your RL ♡
And I agree .. how much better our world would be if we just embraced each other more .. without judgement .. my mantra has been .. "who am I to judge?"
May your week be filled with peace and love
