Daily Bread: I love the way

Monday, 14 February 2011

I love the way

you check under the bed

for spiders, before getting in.

I love the way

you take a sip of water

before turning out the light.

I love the way

you kiss me in the dark

before closing your eyes.

I love the way

you love the way

I love your ways.

About The Poet

John H Davies was born in 1962. After Uppingham and Sandhurst he served as an Infantryman in the British Army, and later as a mercenary in Central America, where he was detained in solitary confinement for a year as a prisoner of war. Since returning to the UK he worked in the manufacturing industry for 20 years, before joining a security company in East Africa. His portfolio included Tanzania, Kenya, South Sudan, Somalia, Zambia and D R Congo. John now works for a tourism and conservation organization in the Serengeti region of Northern Tanzania. The poetry is influenced by those early events, and subsequent adjustment to the day to day life of work, family and relationships. The poem 'Chinese Whispers' appeared in The Spectator, and Shropshire Life magazine published a monthly piece for a year selected from the blog. John can be contacted mwambani@hotmail.com
