In Residence
by Rosemond
In Residence
You took up permanent residence
In my life;
Moved in--bag and baggage that summer
Without notice.
You abide with me every waking moment
Of the day;
Dwell at nighttime in my dreams;
Total occupancy.
You removed the vacancy sign
From my heart;
Opened the windows of my soul
With one kiss.
You occupied my days with the strength
Of your love;
Filled my nights
With your splendor.
You took possession of the keys
To my being;
Caretaker of my heart
Take care,
Take care.
