Full House


Nostalgic

About being lovesick

That treacle poured, sticky toffee pud-sick


A poker hand that ends up in a golden band


And even when the cards are flipped

The hand you’re dealt, you would stick

No matter how much wealth was stripped

You’d maintain the tightest of grips

Because it’s a good fit.


And in time that initial arousal

Becomes a loving house; full.
