love in couched terms

 

         

 

           *

 

 

side by each

amante y vännen

read confirming words 

from the one

who loves them both

 

sitting close

fingers reach 

just to touch

just to be sure

that this is real

 

proximity of heart

and breast and breath

new love

old love

true love

 

to be or not to be

to be seen

 

 

              *

The second stanza evokes in me a time very long ago, the awe and innocence of those first feelings of what love might be . . . believe it or not I was six or seven years old and it was on a couch too. Her name was Lucia and I've never forgotten her.

The title of this poem exactly describes its contents. I loved

fingers reach
just to touch
just to be sure
that this is real

I love the idea of this because it is so true, that and table top - simple but effective things

I am so touched by this! I've been trying to write about the couch but have not yet had the words. This is lovely. Your poems always bring acceptance and comfort. :-)
