Timothy Ray Poet Romanticism

rainbows are forever

Over the years, looking across the tables at you
ambiance may change
meals range from simple 
to aromas meandering tropical islands
roaming ports of call in far-off lands
the little Diner of long ago
caught in a torrential downpour
afterwards the petrichor aura
riding home with you 
there remains that infrangible moment
when your tableware searches for another morsel
caught up in a moment intent
looking up, your eyes meet mine
a Duchenne smile adorned by doves perching
upon the Cupid's bow you wear
the moment i am reminded
reaching across the table
the oxytocin in touching your hand
rainbows are forever

Ah rainbows I wish were forever and butterflies too, its strange that they dont last long, especially in the name of love. 😳 However true love will forever be alive. Your word weaving here is so very seamlessly and I especially love "caught up in a moment intent looking up, your eyes meet mine a Duchenne smile adorned by doves perching" just beautiful!
