PATINA OF LOVE

 
They had the words
The whole vocabulary
Few were really needed
That was part of their beauty
 
Being together
Knowing
Caring
Loving
Sometimes with only a touch
 
This was a part of
Their patina of love
Never to be lost
 
They together were
Who they were singularly
Identity of one
By default included the other
 
It was to be, forevermore
At least until death
Even then they died together
One literally; one figuratively
 
The patina of love
Depth not known
Lives on
Like mystical vows
Eternally
