What Looks Best Through Rose-Colored Glasses

Narrow roads and wooden bridges

Chance encounters in the night

Those unnaturally prodigious

Those personifying the sublime

Their attentive gaze and refrain

Their smiles and uproarious laugh

A hand at the small of their back

The holiness of the heart’s affections

The restless midnight imagination

Unanswered messages and questions

A hand at the small of their back

Reasoned explanations and rigid bones

An implication

A misunderstood tone

Saving the knot, pulled tight

A hand at the small of their back
