Satin

by T.L. Thompson

Satin’s softness heralds the finer things
of touch and taste,
the purest of expression,
and the awakening of souls.

Life is made for moments like these,
a knowing glance,
your lips on mine,
the beginning of our life together.

We lie here and wait for nothing,
the beginning of forever,
in the slowed pace
of peaceful love.
