Twilight

Smiling memories

of a lifetime

spent together

refuels the love

for the frail figure

between white sheets.

 

The touch

of a shivering hand

accompanied

by a weak smile

revives memories

of passionate times.

 

Twilight falling

on the horizon

and flickering hope

keeps them alive.
