I Only Know Simple Things

By: PM. Cardamone

 

I know only simple things

Like the ridges on the palm of your hand

As it’s place in mine

The gentle brush of our fingertips, or

Finding lost time within our steps

 

As we steal each soul with our eyes

And place them in secret, inside

The gap of unspoken love that still resides

Lessened by the slight sidle of your side

As you shelter me in that gentle gaze

 

Known only to one who is looking

I find where it is you like to hide

In the absence of words so action can rise

You move in close to me and

Whisper your siren’s song

 

Each note from your lips lands on mine

My fingers become yours as we move in close

It is now our air I breathe

with every exhale you become a part of me

 

You ask me how I know I love you

Putting complexities aside,

I know only simple things

Like love between you and I.
