Between the Lines

What I was a girl,


my mother warned me


—woman to woman—


“Always listen for the lies


between men’s sugared lines.”


 


Her words have served me well—


—until now—


Here in this sunlit morning’s room,


as I lie beside you and watch


your lips form the lines


          I know are mine alone to hear.

Carol. Nice poem. I think your indentations work well, and so does the use of --dashes. I like "sunlit morning's room", as if the morning owns the room. Cool. The poet's mother had words of wisdom, but a woman can tell the difference between Lines and lines, the latter being genuine.

this seems to go along with your "Reunion" poem...and both are well written.

Wise words in mature romance... "Between the Lines" shines.

In admiration,
