When you fall in love again, in your 50’s, it can be quite daunting. Having to share one’s home and private space again can be quite unsettling. Lucy Berry has recently found love again at age 53. She has written this beautiful poem about how she feels:

Love Comes to Stay

You broke into my house while I was out
and lodged and laughed and cooked and disarranged things.
I find it very hard to tolerate
intruders with the energy to change things.

You cluttered up my home with friends and noise;
stole my entire routine and broke and spoiled it,
wrecked my attempts at dignity and poise,
dismantled old machinery and oiled it.

You heard the song I knew by heart, and learned it,
explored each corner of my home and filled it;
and snatched my dearest prejudice and burned it,
and caught what terrified me most, and killed it.

You hold opinions I don’t wish to hear,
make jokes about me which I don’t quite get,
break rules, support the cause I least approve,
and fail to see that I’m in charge, as yet.
You barge in without any invitation,
slam doors which I prefer to keep ajar
you go and smash my blessed, slow stagnation.

But, since you’re here, we’ll leave things as they are

Lucy Berry
