an intimate moment

An intimate moment
By
Jude Kyrie

He looked up into the night sky.
Reflections of moon and stars
filled his beautiful eyes like mirrors..
For just a brief moment
a clouded expression 
took over his strong features.
Perhaps he is worried she thought.
Or maybe he did not love her
quiet as she loved him.
She placed her wine glass
onto the porch railing.
And whispered 
Are you alright my love.?
Can I help.?
He sighed slightly
she almost heard
his breath leave his body.
Yes I am fine he answered.
Hiding his pain from her
As he always did.
She ached to hold him
close to her breast.
Where the softness
And the steady beat 
of her heart would 
comfort him.
She stood next to him
Wishing to taste the 
comfort of his lips.
She slipped her hand
about his waist.
Just for a moment
they saw the moon and stars.
In each others eyes.
And he twisted a strand
Of her hair about a finger.
She tilted her head back
Offering him everything.
He kissed her softly
And as he always did
he took her to her bed.
And she made love to him.
As usual
He took her 
Without saying I love you.
But the moon and stars
Blocked her vision.
He's so caring
He gives himself
to me all the time
She thought
