no longer compromising

it takes years
and years, decades maybe.
but in time.
you have everything that you need
and have put it into
places
where they need to be.
the colors on the walls
are picked by you.
the art work
hung where you desire.
there is no compromise
with that vase on the mantle,
whether the windows
get opened,
or you light a fire.
the flowers.
the way the chair
is positioned against
the wall.
dishes in place.
your favorites cups
in reach.
the locks on the door
and heart,
keeping anyone from coming
in and moving
things an inch.
