Heart Throbs
His brushing a stray tress from her cheek
brought a twinkle to her
weakened eyes…
The light of youth and steadfast love
returned when he cupped her face
such grace…
Dusting off his shoulders
caused a tilting of his head
lamplight glanced off his bald pate.
Chuckling, they walk in sync
“I can dress you up,” each says to the other
“But, I can’t take you out anywhere!”
Laughing, like the teen heart throbs
each still sees in the others eyes
they board the plane
for Cairo…
