Man and Woman

Her eyes flutter; his eyes assess
Her cheeks pinken; his cheeks dimple
Her hand strokes his face; his itch to explore

Her skin is like satin – smooth, unblemished; his is coarse – scattered with scars
Her hair is windswept; his is carelessly unkempt
Her heart dances; his thuds

Her outer softness conceals the quiet inner strength his presence gives her;
His outer strength hides an inner vulnerability that has come to life because of her

She giggles; he guffaws
She wiggles; he grits his jaw
She tempts with a smile; he sits, both of them helplessly entranced

Blissfully perfect? Oh no, not quite. Just revelling in a moment that feels just right, hoping it never ends.
