Shall I pour
or shall you
A cup of shared
remembrances
or renewing
an old affair
A simple ceremony
of life and loving
We have so many
do we not
So many simple ceremonies
in our lives
Sharing good times
and bad
Sharing the ceremonies
of hope
and fear
and death
and joy
Such joys we share
in simple ceremonies
A welcoming hug
a kiss
a sigh
a loving embrace
as we live
and before we die
Knowing that you're there
and
I am here for you
During all the
simple ceremonies
to come
Gestures of understanding
and forgiveness
we express
through simple ceremonies
Nodding
smiling
caressing a cheek
or wiping away a tear
Simple gifts
ceremonies
testaments to the love
we share
Touches
glances
waves of recognition
and embraces
for the lovers
in our lives
The many lovers
and loves
But you my love
are here
and will be forever
forever
my love
sharing the rituals
and ceremonies of desire
and conssumation.
And we become so much more
than we were
and remain what we are
Laughing together
chuckling
giggling
tickling
dancing
dancing the ceremonial dance
of love and fruition
sharing a ceremony of recognition
of unquelled humanity
and unparalleled humaneness
and unequalled acceptance
of love
