Romance

Romance is not just
between a pretty “she”
and a dark “him”
Romance may happen between
a naked river flowing restlessly
through the hard limbs of the rocks
Romance is felt between
a quiet virgin morning
tucked in a loose sheet of sky
and the naughty sun
spreading gold
all over her body
A day is quietly born, then-
bringing hope and sunshine
and a pain of its own sweet kind
Watching the day getting through
busy streets and dense forests
to get to its bride-like night
buttoned up by the stars
and half-hidden in clouds-
This journey of a day to its night
and then of that night
back to its sweet little day
is pure Romance
