SYNCOPATION

We stood in a concert line
just the other day,
proceeding slowly to the ticket booth...
we didn’t have much to say.
It wasn’t that
we were at odds or anything,
just one of those times when being close
was song enough for the heart to sing.
I watched her standing there
so poised, beautiful, a world to me,
and wanted to shout,
to lay my soul bare,
so everyone there
would know what she means to me.
She smiled,
moved closer,
as if she’d heard these thoughts of mine,
and my heart played rhythm’s
only love could know
when she squeezed my hand and said
“ I love you so”.

Strange how love can captivate one's being where all that is experienced is the one that you love.... your expression for the emotions felt seem so real.  Your poem made me feel as if I was right there.
