A new poem from S P Clark for that person who came into his life at the right time and for that right period.
I Visited Him
I visited him at midday to cocoon myself in his arms
To be held as I wept
To feel his skin against mine as I slept.
His sheltering embrace safe enough to release the years of pain
To loose tears I suppressed
To release little hurts that coalesced.
I curled foetal whimpering in his almost familial clinch
Showed he cared as I cried
Showed his compassion after the rains dried.
His uncomplicated acceptance of the things that I’ve been through
Showed me security
Showed and saved my heart from obscurity.
I visited him at noon to thank him for those times together
For helping me move on
For the foundations I can build upon.
