There Is Only Today!

She walked into the bar,
sat down and ordered a drink,
hand touching her cheek,
arm resting on the counter.

He watched every move she made,
never missing a beat,
envisioning what it would be like
to touch that hand upon her cheek.

Strangers passing in the night,
like two ships crossing in the stormy sea,
concentrating on their own rocky vessel,
missing the other's needs.

Eyes meet for a moment suspended in time,
Instant chemistry grabs a hold,
smiles form with softness of mind,
urgency is transferred through a glance.

She gets up, and walks over,
He gets up and touches her cheek,
In that instant, fate has been cast.
Never will their lives be the same.

They hold each other as if familiar
with each other's urgent needs,
warmth and chemistry mingle
like a softly written melody.

Without a word, they leave the bar,
walk down the beachy shore,
stand on the dunes and hold on tight,
as if:

There
Is
Only
Today.
