The Strong and the Weak
The Strong and the Weak
Pure white sheets on washing lines billow in the wind like clouds moving swiftly across the blue-sky expanse Strong yet soft to touch with a scent of freshness Capable of many washings and bleaching A high thread count, thick but cool on the skin Fine, sensitive delicates are no longer hanging here The past not easy to rinse away as the plain utilitarian cottons These silky items are now handwashed gently with love and left to dry flat, smoothing away any further wrinkles Susceptible to damage, cared for and protected Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved De Jackson (aka Whimsy Gizmo) is hosting D'Verse Poets tonight and has prompted us with the 'Laundry' and we may do it any way we like. He also gave us some 'washing' prompts to use I chose to use three: dry flat. wrinkles and fine delicates
Mine
Mine
The feeling was involuntary
Impossible to hold back
Encompassing my body
In a gradual attack
Filling my heart with love
To be poured over you
In sensual oils to massage
And the kiss of morning dew
Tied in silk ribbons
Your limbs I will bind
So you will stay forever
Lady Justice is blind
