Forever and Always

Stolen glances under a soft moonlight night,

Bodies as nimble as a humming bird's flight gliding across the floor.

Lips pressed together softly, causing heads to spin,

Worlds to stop then begin again.

Picnics of strawberries in the sun,

The sweet scent of the sweat emanating off one's skin.

Talks of friends and family late into the night,

The soft sound of breathing as one fell asleep.

Beams of sunlight dance across a sleeping face,

A nimble kiss placed upon a smooth cheek.

Paintings and photos hung carefully,

Each one a moment remembered together.

Harsh words spoken in anger,

Anger radiates loudly.

Bitter tears brushed away with soft hands,

The brush of hair behind an ear,

Whispered apologies, a stolen kiss.

An inside joke at the expense of a passerby,

Sweet laughter engulfs the senses.

Smiles as hands slip into one another,

Stepping into the future together.

A Love for the Ages.
