Rainy Day (A Poem)

Given the rain today, I thought this would be another one to share.

RAINY DAY

In the silences, we sit close -
sometimes we touch, sometimes not -
you with book in hand absorbed -
and me with pen and paper writing

As music fills the room,
a sweet solace falls on us -
peaceful contentment within
as we are one, yet all alone, together

Outside the rain is pouring
but the fire burns inside
not only in the fireplace
but deep inside each heart of ours

This is my dream of us -
lost safely in our own little world
removed from the outside rush
enjoying one another and the quiet

Then suddenly we reach
silently for each other
without need for words
we're in each other's arms

Kisses are traded and
caresses surrendered
in a moment's desire
and we melt into each other

Then back to your book
and back to my writing
with pleasant smiles
enjoying a quiet rainy day...
