Smells fill the kitchen –
Garlic and onions and beef –
Joy to cook for two.
Fear, love – how can they
Exist side by side, like two
Who are close as breath?
People, plans, parties …
Amidst the flurry I need
To rest in your heart.
Touching the ring
In the middle of the night,
She knows she is loved.
All day on the phone
Sharing the good news of you –
Voices tinged with joy.
