Nothing

Nothing 
Can replace
The feeling of 
Their soft cheek
Pressed against mine
Our faces
Puzzle pieces
Laid out
On a cosmic game table

Nothing
Can replace
The good mornings and 
Good nights
Tinted pink
Like a ripe peach
Resting on a summer beach 
Glistening

Nothing
Can replace
The cold touch of concrete
Pressed against our backs
Staring into the distant sparkles
Soft music taking us down 
A celestial river

Nothing 
Can replace
The times I lose myself
In the deep coffee oceans
Gleaming 
Under fairy lights

Nothing 
Can replace
Them.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
