You were standing, coffee steaming 

Misty-eyed in melancholic dreaming 

My heart beating

Your smile, like the breaking of a new dawn 

I stood  forlorn 

My sobriety, a long road of intention

To my ascension 

Our eyes collided, my heart dancing

Entrancing 

My feet had strayed no further than my hometown 

The local clown

Though in my head I'd travelled far & wide 

But it lied

I took refuge in the the pouring from a bottle

Aristotle

Said, ‘Happiness depends on ourselves’

Ring those bells!

‘Cos, Lord! She had me caught in her reflection 

I feared rejection…

But, she took my hand & told me it was OK

Not to be OK

Her touch pulsing electric shocks between us

Two dreamers

Becoming believers…

Now, our inebriation is from each other

Intoxicated lover

I found that life began in your embrace 

My safe place

And that little piece of heaven that lives in your soul

I'll fill with my love until we're grey & old

Until we are dust, dancing on the breeze

Over misty mountains, & eternal seas

Until we are woven within the fabric of time

Two broken souls who learnt how to shine

For, life is nothing if not strange & fleeting 

Like love found, at an AA meeting…
