The Things You Never See....by David Croft

A sweet and rather lovely poem ...

**************************************

The marmalade cat , sitting by your patio door,
Watching, as you make breakfast.

A July sunrise, framed in the window behind you
As a vapour trail cuts the sky in half.

A spider labouring on a silken thread above your head
While you read William Trevor.

*

Yourself, laughing with your head thrown back
Across the room at a boring party.

The way you scamper across the cold, tiled floor
After a winter’s morning shower.

Me, kissing your eyelids goodnight as you sleep.
