Today we sat in the sun

together.

You took my hand

and twined your fingers in mine.

Suddenly

your hand

was the center of my universe.

Lifting it to my face,

I kissed your palm,

my tongue trailing along your life line

leaving moisture there.

Your fingers

moved to my mouth

as if by magic.

I sucked each one.

The taste of our life together

made me smile.

Your soul patch invited my mouth

so I kissed it

Your mouth curved.

I looked into your eyes.

You whispered to my heart,

“Yes, always.”
