Lovers tangled in romance,
their hands entwined
like sweet grapes
waiting to be wine.
They cherish good times
and defy hard ones
finding joy in the little things
that mean so much ...
little love notes in his lunchbox,
loving gaze
even when her hair is a mess
and she wears sweatpants
as the sun kisses her cheeks,
flowers and chocolates
for no good reason,
leading her blindfolded
to her favorite spot
for wine and snacks, ...
His tears of happiness
getting on one knee
and a diamond ring at hand
but the rock is not as precious
as her tears and YES!
Emily watches from afar
wondering why
she never had that
in neither of her four marriages
as she stands beneath the black sky
embraced by a cold wind
on bared land
Her lot in life
a ringless finger
and no one by her side
offering everlasting love.
Watching
lovers tangled in romance,
their hands entwined
