Late afternoon light

streams through the kitchen window

as I busily chop, stir, create

our evening meal,

softly humming along to the songs

that play on the radio.

You are elsewhere in the house,

separating out our lives

that have become entwined

in the pile of clothes at your feet.

When our song starts to play

I go in search of you

and find you also seeking.

Our eyes meet

and soft memories of that night

fill the empty space

between these two bodies.

I reach out my hand,

you smile and come to me,

and we dance.

Ooooh. Sexy. Actually, there's probably a better word for it...something combining sexy and deeper love. Almost spiritual. :o)

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~
Very lovely, Tonia. Romantic...

I think the word is "romantic," Darling!

Tonia, very nicely done. You did a great job setting up an innocent but deeply romantic scene.

YEAH! That's the word! You know me being a guy and all.... :o)

Thank you all. Every once in a while this romantic side of myself seems to just appear out of nowhere (yes, I am a softy...)

Tonia, this is a lovely poem. One needs to hold such moments close to the heart - they're gone too soon. Marie Pinschmidt

Oh, this is lovely, Tonia.

One of the lasting joys of sharing a home with one you love.

a taste of everyday love
melts in the mind
and lifts the sides of my mouth
