A Pair of Lovers

Sitting in the shade of a sycamore
And holding each other loosely,
A pair of lovers—
Smiling, laughing, talking—
End their day together.

Laying in a patch of mint
And locking their lips gently,
A pair of lovers—
Loving, touching, holding—
Start a life together.

Dipping their feet in a lazy river
And interlocking fingers,
A pair of lovers—
Watching, caring, protecting—
Guide a child together.

Dropping into the damp earth
And longing to touch once more,
A pair of lovers—
Silent, serene, aged—
Stare into eternity together.

—C.R.E.

  2. I really like this one. c: Though... I'm confused why they started their life together laying in a patch of mint. Hahaha. Because I was thinking wedding.

  3. Ah. Not their life... A life. Literally. The thought--for me, at least-- is that the two are married from the beginning of the poem. =) That's why a child is talked about directly after they "...start a life together." Make sense?
