the inability to capture
adequately in words
what the eye softly caresses
a moment of childhood temporarily
smiling two adults
in the dim light
on this very couch, but quite far
away
her gentle strokes travel across the room
and the music slowly underlines
the necessity of this very moment
of this one kiss
the cuddling that persists
through closing times
and through the eyes of tired people
people who wish this place stayed open
for just a few moments longer
to savour the little moments of her hand
against his hair
