Without Words

He pulled out a chair for her 

as they took their seats by the window.

Sunlight was twinkling through

the chinks of a partially drawn blind,

catching the vivid deep redness of her hair, 

and, as she moved to one side, it caught

the sharp blue twinkle in her eyes.

They didn't speak...

for the moment speech was unnecessary.

He took her hand from across the table

and they smiled, happy in the knowledge

that they would always share 

a deep and abiding love.
