When we're out together my hand in yours
We get the nods and looks
That seem to demarcate Us
Surface patterns are misleading ~
They ought to look close
Come
Closer still
Inside-out would soon reveal
what
Outer fingerprints conceal ~
Woven patterns of the Soul
Disparate parts act as one Whole ~
I'll take the nod, endure the stare
I love Our Oxymoron Pair ~
My darling
(When he's a Pale Pink rose
over Caramel skin)
We shut Our eyes,
We dwell, Within .
