Questioning a future lover

Soft breeze and notes

Against my bedroom piano-keys

First, spell out your name.

 

Pause.

 

And then resume to paint picture frames of

You and I, both

                                   

                            Stood young, mid-aged & grey

                            Posed ivory white for a bride

                            And archaic black for a groom

 

 

Oh darling,

Where are you?
