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.
