Poetry from Pellyton: Ode to my love in Kentucky

This was the first occasion, since my wife and I met, that we had been separated for more than a week. In Houston, the night was hot and humid, and Lemia was in Adair County, one thousand miles away, where, she told me the weather had decided to bring some cold to the ground.

Ode to my love in Kentucky
by Ramon Laval-Possel
As the sparkles of this hesitant night
Rain in my heart
Anchoring deeply
Like stalking wolves
Dressed in white
Or perhaps as nothing more than clouds
Saying goodbye from afar,
I think of little more
Than the immensity of my love.
And the hills covered with grass all dressed in blue
Come to me
Smelling of memories and whispers
I cannot forget;
Not when the night is steaming
And in my dreams
Your neck is still moist
Softly resting on my lips.
