Tea on the Seine

Story inspired by a silhouette photograph of two people waking hand in hand along the Seine. My imagination then runs riot and comes up with this. Enjoy

Sunlight glistens in her hair
Poised
Beautiful
Fathomless eyes
Framed in brown
A tea cup in her hand
Poured
By her companion
Comfortable in her presence
A centre of calmness
In a blizzard of talk
Activity
Admiration for her
Seated at a table
Facing the Seine
A backdrop to the tea
Strange contrast
To all the coffee
But suiting them
Suiting her
Drinking in who she is
What she is
The ease of an athlete
With an intellectual outlook
A fascinating blend
Sleekly fashioned outline
Challenging
Loving
Gentle but strong
Appeals to him
Completing
No competition
He longs to reach over
Cup her cheek
Touch her lips
To kiss her
He watches her face
Animated
Excited
Enthusiastic
Enthralled
He is enthralled by her
Lost in the stories
Hidden in her eyes
Looking for something there
Not sure what
They leave
Walking away
Bodies touching
Hand reaching from him
Will it be accepted?
