Senses
hear
tender words
questions answers
your current reality
see
furtive glance
visual dance
clever hands and fingers
touch
tentative press
to shy flesh
still clothed in other loves
smell
breathe you in
where’ve you been
through all my loves and life

My newest blog follower Edward Roads posts 2 sentences with a photo – which I find both innovative and inspiring. His latest has reminded me of a poem which I thought I’d share, both are about the unspoken:
Priority Seating
Chivalry’s not dead.
Young man offers an older
person his seat, but
not the young lady. He stands
silently, matching her sway.
