It’s true that
We go together
Like grilled cheese
And tomato soup
Find comfort together
Like puppies sleeping
Fit together like
Letter and envelope
As different as
Winter and summer
Yet revolve around
Each other like
Sun and moon
Sharing the sky
Shining when the
Other is asleep
Subtle as winks
Grand as laughter
There are so
Many people looking
Looking for this
And that looking
For things outside
Looking for those
People that will
Complete them completely
Always looking ahead
Looking to what’s
Next looking around
The corner or
Across the room
Looking for that
Hint that glint
Of cautious interest
Of invitation of
Hope always looking
Away from where
They find themselves
Truth be that
The joy that
They look for
Is in the
Last place that
They look it’s
Oddly found there
Right with them
So we kissed
The heavens opened
Revealing a new
Universe just on
The other side
Of now a
Place only accessed
In our minds
As eyes closed
And mouths opened
And fingers explored
As the hands
Of God himself
Pressed us together
And Angel sighs
Escaped our lips
Setting dew upon
The morning flowers
And like a
Breeze through the
Window on a
Sultry August afternoon
In South Carolina
Our conversation chilled
Me whisking aside
The depressing humidity
Making goose flesh
Erupt on naked
Shoulders shivers danced
Down my arms
Landing on my
Palms as I
Cautiously reached out
To your hand
Letting you know
That I was
And will be
Here for you
And then came
The beautiful act
Of sharing starting
With sips of
Silly whipped cream
Concoctions on to
Nibbles from plates
Next affectionate slaps
On backs after
Silly jokes right
Down to Arianna
Now playing on
My radio after
We used the
After shower towel
Sharing with you
Draws us closer
Like invisible strings
