I Want You to Know Love
By rcpollitz
What is romance, soft candle light on the table? Shadows wall dancing to the sounds of the flames in the fireplace. Images of snowflakes slowly melting on your eyelashes. A single rose delicately displayed in a crystalline vase. What is love, two people sharing the hot water in a tub built for one? Sitting side by side in an overstuffed couch instead of two recliners. A single glass with two straws while sitting in a booth. Lobster and salad each leaving subtle reminders of breaths exchanged. Who are we, envelopes full of passions and desires quietly waiting to be delivered? Two lifelines crossing a single palm while walking hand in hand. An echo of ourselves hauntingly whispering our souls into submission. A candle with two wicks casting only one light. Written November 4th, 2001 © on Nov 08 2001 12:36 PM PST 0 • 8
