Today we sat in the sun
together.
You took my hand
and twined your fingers in mine.
Suddenly
your hand
was the center of my universe.
I lifted it to my face,
kissed your palm,
touched my tongue to your life line
leaving a line of my moisture there.
Your fingers
moved to my mouth
as if by magic.
I sucked each one.
The taste of our life together
made me smile.
Your soul patch invited my mouth
so I kissed it
Your mouth curved.
I looked into your eyes.
You whispered to my heart,
“Yes, always.”
