A kind of peach-sorbet dawn...
already it was morning;
the sheets tangled round our feet...we
were willing prisoners.

Pulled excuses out of drawers
why we shouldn’t stay in bed
all day...to be stashed in the corner;
nothing fitted – nothing for it
we would linger till noon...

and then it was night,
and a freckled sky looked down
in awe, as the sweat
between her breasts, glistened
and put the milky-way
to shame.

This is excellent! A skilful use of language and imagery. I particularly loved the first stanza, though with a second read every line is equally effective. Great work!

Thanks, steve. Pleased you

I forgot to say that, while reading this poem, I was listening to 'Berlin Song' by Ludovico Einaudi. It struck me that, for me, the song and poem went rather well together. Peaceful, quietly triumphant and powerfully, unassumingly, beautiful - qualities that these two works of art seem to share.
