1930

A Poem by C Peril

Just writing to say that last night, for the first time,
you rested your head against my chest. 
For the first time in a long, long time 
everything was ok. Everything was right. 

I could get the dictionary out. Thesaurus. Some of the old,
treasured lines. Write you to oblivion, and tell you
I was lost in your eyes, drowning in your smile: 
hearts, heaven, destiny. 

And that drivel. 

[Don't get me wrong, there's time for that if everything pans out.]

And yes, on the train back home, the sight 
of your copper coloured hair on my jumper... 
the fact that I could still smell your scent. 

Oh wow.  

But mostly what I wish to convey is that
for the first time in such a long damn time, 
everything was right. 

It felt good to be alive.

This is such an uplifting reflection on a relationship. The fact than another can make our world seem right spells out love in clear description. It was wonderful to read aloud.
