Lovingly

He touches her hand and
      She gently responds by 
          Opening her velvet fingers 
Extending her heart to 
     His all-familiar palm. 
          She reads his thoughts. 

Not a word need pass between

     As their pulse becomes one,
          Their eyes intertwine, 

Two souls lost in time and
     For one fleeting moment 
          Each one is the other. 
No questions.

Walking together hand in hand
        Down pathways familiar 
                Recalling the past
Greeting old friends as 
        They stroll through the park 
               Passing a bit of their time.

Quiet and still at 
        The end of the game 
                Sitting together, alone in the dark. 
Leisurely, lovingly 
        Lost in contentment.
               No need for words. 
They’d just get in the way.
