DIVINE MASTERPIECE

A rear table for two at the Cafe Deli by the corner of Moi Avenue  
Where street lights eavesdrop on lovers as they sip the night away,  
I took a deep breath desperate to contain the outpouring of my dancing heart.  
“Finally. After weeks of, I have him all to myself!”  
   
Bubbling like a child eager to unwrap their first candy  
I said to him, "Let me see those gifted hands!"  
And as I ran my fingers across the contours  
Taking in that polished leathery feel…  
 “Alas!” Exclaimed my spirit, “I have touched the hands of God!"  
   
That fine May night has birthed many fateful days;  
June surreptitiously took off with promises made therein haste;    
Sacred whispers so carelessly spoken…  
And the summery smiles on that selfie shared with friends has since turned as cold as July!  
   
He was fairly new to me that first meet  
And the passage of time like rain on dry lands has yield fresh grove.    
Yet even now,perfectly estranged  
Like an indwelling;  
His form, his essence! Remains.
