We both reached into the chiller cabinet at exactly the same moment ‘Dinner for one’ you said, and we both laughed Our eyes met and you gave me a shy smile ‘Let’s make it dinner for two’ you said softly and you touched my hand I hesitated, but only for a second. ‘Okay Frank' … Arm in arm we stroll back to our rooms at the sheltered housing complex Now we are making up for lost time, neither of us is getting any younger I’d lost my husband several years ago and Frank had lost beloved wife Who knows what the future holds for us Love, romance, or companionship We’ll just take it day by day Contest: In the mood for Love Sponsor: Shadow Hamilton 11~25~15

Oh I agree, I think, art, photography, music, poetry are mediums that enhance each other, only a narrow mind could think otherwise! SO beautiful this poem I gotta say it WOW!

I write the poems then see if I can find a suitable picture - I was always adamant I would never use the picture option but I have to admit sometimes it can really enhance the poem and does not detract from your words:-) hugs Jan xx
