Just Us Two

Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021 with permission of the Author.

Pull away the world
so that it is just us two.
Silence the chaos
inside and outside our heads.
Let us follow the purity
of our foolish hearts
if only for right now.
Search my eyes
for who we used to be.
And when you find us,
kiss my lips so hard
that I believe
the poetry is real again.
