Between Us

Just for tonight
We’ll dance
Have nothing on our minds
Roam nothingness 
Speak in endless looks 
Forget that tsunamis brought us here 

Just for tonight
We’ll hold each other in the most simple of ways 
Ask for hands to be held with nothing but grazes
And lips to be kissed with nothing but tempted faces 

We’ll forget about all the wonders and disasters 
We’ll be stuck but graciously floating 
Just for tonight 
And every other night you’ll have me

Victoria, it is almost like you have lived through a tsunami or another disaster. You have such empathy, and this poem shows that. Well done. Heart-felt. Welcome to Poetry Soup.
