Three of Thee: Jennifer

Part of a series of my most endeared loves of my life.

Elder to me

Wise ear always

Cherished so much

Closer than any

First to heart

Not in yours

Vintage wine tainted

Processor's hands violate

Heart twisted mess

Touches never forbid

Kindness denied kisses

Will inhibited hands

Restrained my hands

Held me close

Heart yet distant

Lived together once

Year or more

Friends between walls

Abroad for years

Silence formed contact

Contracted me first

Quiet meetings together

Dinner and coffee

Rare yet welcome

Quiet now again

Occasional quick meets

Words rarely spoken
