Sensing.

Fay Slimm.

 

Sensing.

 

Between sips of wine

and slender white candles

they sat at a window

sharing the moment

a man with a woman

sensing closeness

on the brink of something

bigger than then

and as everyone knows

love struck again

when he gave her a rose.

    A rose by any other name... Such a tender piece but filled with such anticipation and laced with such a connection. Truly a poem to relish. Thanks for sharing, Faye. /Rik.

      I met a gal, but rather ruined things.
      In the middle of saying sweet nothings, as this couple may be, I said 'Oh no, I forgot to buy me new long johns before the sale ends!' heehee.

      • Fay Slimm.

        Glad you enjoyed the read dear Orchi.

        beautiful!
        and in June's PRIDE
        we get to celebrate
        the embattled, freedom
        for all sexual preferences
        to enjoy, such moments..
        a Timely and poignant, read
        thank you! dear Fay
        so deliciously worded:
        'sensing closeness
        on the brink of something
        bigger than, then
        and as everyone knows
        love struck, again'

              Ah yes the beauty of that single rose from todays suitor and..... she was lost to its wanton ways having first felt it's prick.
              A fine ending to the day once the currys digested.

              Creating the right romantic mood and finding a suitable venue is I imagine (because I am so out of touch) quite a challenge these days and after lockdown who the heck can afford to dine out somewhere posh.
              Ah but I have my memories which your poem brings slinking back. Those actual romantic times are truly a treasure and long may they be sought and found for all future generations to hold high in their cherished memories.

              • Fay Slimm.

                Am sensing you like my take on romantic fancy my friend and thank you masses for dropping by for a read - . - - the above picture invites a poetic mind to pen all sorts of extras like a female whose fingers held one red rose. Delighted the write set your own treasured memories alight again dear Dusk.

                Beautiful words of new love Fay.

                Andy
