A young couple
On a summer beach
And very much in love

One can see that
By the way they lean their heads
Their eyes
How their fingers intertwine
Holding hands

Together
They gaze at the artist
Quietly composed
In being whole

Who want nothing more
Of others
Except to be allowed to live

That’s all
No more

It is 1890
And this world is theirs

Interesting. Is this poem based on a particular painting?

PS

Not true . . .

You were just, like most of us unfortunates,
at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Thanks for reading.

John


Post Script

This came as a response
to an ink and pencil drawing
with which I took liberties.

and you lent
for a moment
another time

another space

and a breath
in which to

smile.

Thank you, John.
