Proximity

Come down and hug me.

She had missed his message, therefore hurried back towards the hall; the crowd was filtering out in the opposite direction.

As she entered the place, she saw him in the centre of the room, and she stopped a while at the entrance to watch him. The way he talked and laughed with the journalists, the charmer he was for the cameras. He was always meant to be there.

I’m so proud of you.

She was happy to be there, just watching him from the side, smiling to see him the way he was.

A proximity that was near enough, and they could never be closer.

Wine & Friendship

A friendly poetry challenge
Appeared with a similar theme
So here’s the previous post
Re-formed in poetry. 🙂

He was seated at the table
Glass of wine in his hand
Sultry was the afternoon
Some summer breezes fan

The town bustle and chatter
Filled the air in his wait
Till he looked up as he heard
Her voice – “Sorry I’m late!”

He set his glass down, as she
Arrived at his table
A smile on his lips
“I’m glad you were able.”

“Well I kept my promise
To meet you today.”
He took a sip from his glass
His eyes not leaving her face

She reached for her own
Lips curled in a wicked smile
“Amici e vino sono meglio vecchi.”
Made him guffaw a while

“Are you saying that I’m old?”
He winked and took a sip
“I’m saying we get better with age
Like fine wine and friendship.”

Like

I like my
Chocolate dark and bitter
Coffee robust and strong
Cheese distinct and pungent
Bread fresh, hot and soft
Conversations deep and intriguing
Hugs lingering and long
Circles close and intimate
Love superseding all wrong.

Friendship

I told her about you
Today; she listened to
The immense happiness
And affection in my voice
Smiled and congratulated me
Quietly for having found the
Soul of my life, always the
Calming support and
Constant I have been
Blessed with.

Daily Prompt: Rebuild

We may salvage and
Rebuild, only as much as
We are allowed to.

And then we must let go.

Gravitate

Everyone this near;
Yet all that I can do is
Gravitate to you.

Package

I packed a little
Part of me in that
Package you should’ve
Received, wishing
It is I you would
Be holding
Right now.
