Blissful afternoon.

She slips the earphones on

music flows in

her eyes close

as she slumps on

his chest

He watches

listens

as her heart beats

as her chest rises

and falls

music dances in her ear

her lips slightly

apart as

she hums

her voice vibrating

against him

slow

peaceful

he dips his head

kissing

her crown

rests his chin on

her head

closes his eyes

wraps his arms around her

Smile graces

their features

as their hands find one another

intertwining

and it’s only

her and him

in this small

box

cocooned with

happiness.
