Opening the door of this house to invite some one inside must be a great pleasure, indeed.
Filling in the Blanks
He opened the door
And there she was,
A cleaning lady in disguise--
Or a goddess incognito.
He wasn’t sure because
She couldn’t speak.
Her life before had
Made her dumb.
Her life after, had not yet
Arrived.
So, in the middle they met.
He, with his door almost closed;
She, with a space to clean and
A place to shine.
It’s been awhile.
He trusts now,
Goes into town and greets
The people he passes
On the streets.
She cleans the windows,
Lights the lamps
And makes the bed.
In the early evening, they
Talk about the day.

In the spirit of Valentine's season, I will continue to post love poems...at least for awhile. We don't know too much about the couple in the poem, except that they filled in the blanks in each others lives. The reader can create his or her own story behind the poem. Did she knock on the door of a great house or a small bungalow. Did he want anyone at his door at all? It doesn't matter, does it? skp
