Image for the poem Beneath

Beneath

Beneath the sheets of darkness, her bed was a magic carpet  
Woven in threads of memories from her childhood.  
 
In hushed tones, she whispered the names of lovers from her past  
Sharing secrets of their touch, and naming the places of her they had.  
 
As a beautiful child of creation, she had often spread her wings to love  
And spent summer nights with passions running free.  
 
"Do you crave a touch that wakes the night?" she heard a spirit whisper.  
“Yes,” she said as her fingers slipped beneath her gown.

I imagined my mother and her private thoughts as she remembered her youth before her death. I edited this photo from an earlier time in her life. Her eyes were so clear!
