6 decades

her pale skin hangs

loosely to her bones

but in her eyes

it is still bright

and her voice

is old-fashioned warmly

and still untouched

just as her love

she looks optimistically

to her visitors

she knows she is loved

so she can travel quietly

the last part

still surrounded

by loved ones

at her bed

Being in Progress

Work in Prgress, Han de Leeuwerk

Focussing in the distance

her mind far away from

her body. No shivering

although her clothes are

almost caressing her when

sliding off the soft skin.

The burgundy and golden

dress just fingertipped

saved from the floor.

Her world is exploding

the colours of pleasure

fill her spirit with euphoria

and she seems to swim

in the sea of passion.

She awaits her dearest

and is prepared to

dwell in her memory

as long as it takes.
