I rise daily
To see myself
reflected in you
bursting with life
...
Our bodies braid,
And unbraid
As we take each other in
Exploring wrinkles in our hearts
...
A kind hand welcomes mine
And so our hands intertwine
Your dark eyes open to my being.
Speaking softly, your words are heavy
...
You rise to check the time.
A moment of true beauty,
of quiet grace.
I recall as the curves of you,
...
