My House #3

On a perfect day, the stairs
are easy to climb
My steps softened by
the smell of mint
The sublime comfort
of the living room
Complete in its colors
of invitation.
I need go no further
for love.
Still, into the kitchen
Familiar things
are found brighter
this perfect day
Where polished pots know
what to cook
Where varied vegetables
bake by themselves.
Where the kitchen's warmth
radiates throughout
Where beauty reigns
on this perfect day
Filled with memories of
visits and laughter
Of lovers, friends
and family.

I need go no further
for love
