A Woman for all Seasons
By Katanga
19 May 2008

You should have heard her - just around midnight!

Cheers!

A Woman for All Seasons 

 

In my duvet covered soft pillowed days
She mocked she laughed she loved me
And always very gently

In my enemy of sleep forever days
I loved her ferociously
But, oh, so very gently

She mocks, she loves,
She laughs with me
And, oh, so gently

In my days of in between
She laughs, she mocks
She loves me
Ferociously

When all our days are ended
All mockery and laughing done
She will be my guiding star
Brighter than the Sun

And take us both to God knows where
But I don’t give a damn
As long as she is with me
As she has always been

Sounds like soulmates made for all ages, not just all seasons. What a lovely woman, and how well expressed is the poet's appreciation! Why does this remind of your monkey and whale romance? It's lovely.

This is a very tender piece, Tolstoy! You sound a very lucky man. 
Love that final stanza.

Lovely John. She must be very proud to have someone write such nice things about your relationship. Well written.

It's really lovely John. It just exudes love in every line. (is that the right word?) 
 
Anyway I thought it was great, well done.
