what should i think of the wine?
or the stain on your blouse or
the hush in the air when i lean in for
another sip;
and looking beyond the fragrant garden,
the mountains in the distance
seem close enough to climb;
there is a special quality of life found
on a plate of fine cheeses
with garlic and the sweet smile on your lips;
in every detail there was pleasure
on my dinner plate
with your hand in my lap;
the beautiful clothes were well worn
and less perfect than your eyes;
you have things to do
as i
to make life tolerable
as we continue with our meal
thinking of the absolutely unreachable
seemingly alive and oh so temptingly
near.
