You step up behind me
As I cook our morning eggs
Your lips graze my neck
Your breath steady and soft
You wrap yourself around me
And rest your chin on my shoulder
I say nothing as you just linger
Holding me in your arms
Because I’m angry at the moment
At the words we just shared
But I let you hold me
Because I know it is your way
The words don’t easily come for you
The way they do for me
But in the way you stand there
Your apology is felt instead of heard
Then I turn and hug you back
So you understand in your way
I am sorry too

This sounds like Joe and I! I can yell and yell or try to talk it out but he’d rather just take a breather and come kiss me when he’s ready to apologize! Hahaha. And if I rested my chin on his shoulder he’s probably smack me because that’s his tickle spot. Lol!
I love this piece of yours! It’s tender and honest and just simply sweet. You capture it beautifully. And thank you for including me in your list of blogs. That’s very nice of you. I’m now a “follower”, so let me just say that it’s a lovely way to meet and I’m most certainly looking forward to reading more from you! Take good care of your precious self! xoJulia

Very apt poem. Why is it those who use words well are inevitably drawn to those who do not?
I think this theme is circling the blogosphere’s consciousness. I wrote something very similar this week. Perhaps, it will need to see the light of day after all. xxx
Beautiful.
Another lovely piece on love and the unbreakable bond we have with our lover! I am enjoying this Romantic Monday stuff… I am a hopeless romantic, not to sound cliche’, but I love love.. I do! I feel your words today, I too have ‘felt’ an apology as opposed to hearing one. At least you know it’s from the heart, right? …Oh and you are gorgeous as ever! Happy Monday!

Most of the time my silence is just because I lack the words. I love you and I’m glad you understand me.
Holy mackerel. Really?
You are so good at capturing feelings that most of us have as we experience disagreements with our spouses. Loved it!
You almost made me cry …. That was ….moving. Loved it!
Sigh. Very lovely..
And thank you for the mention!
