Jumper

Just submitted this to Magma Poetry magazine, their next issue has a clothing theme.

Jumper

You wrap yourself around me elegantly and internal sighs consume me from within
Memories flash by in floods and I see him
Standing there by the light by the window
And I smile and smell his scent, I am sure it is him
He wears the same jumper that tonight cuddles me in bed
My favourite woolly-warmth old with time and wisdom
I am sure you said it belonged to your father
That he use to wear it when engrossed in a book
A pipe balancing on his bottom lip
you said

The sky moods over its shades of grey reflect my current emotion
Sadness spreads and a tear escapes slowly
It trickles down and kisses my cheek
I miss you

I stroke you now and close me eyes imagining I am really feeling you
Kissing you, touching you
You use to belong to me everything of you was a part of me
Your jumper it helps and heals the pain
I would never go away
You said
