She understands this place;
she understands me.
We walk the wooden boards in silence
and let Nature speak.
The creek eases past Cypress knees,
anchoring trees who have stood
peaceful witness
through lifetimes come and gone.
"Look," she says. "The paw paws are nearly ripe."
I inhale their tropical musk
and reach for her hand.

This is so sweet! Love forever in a peaceful sunrrounding- some loves need no more, and this your poem is amazing to me. Thanks

Love the sound of this:
The creek eases past Cypress knees,
anchoring trees
It's the best thing in the world to have someone who really does understand us too, isn't it. I love the imagery of the trees in this but more than that love its gentleness.
nature speaks through your words...you set a beautiful scene...i love retreating to nature...and with someone special...
And you will always have this board walk, knees and scent and all.
This is beautiful. I absolutely love the easy, understated way you've written this. It only makes the sweet, familiar, lovely gesture at the end all the more affecting. *sighhhhhh*
Such serenity in this...the peace of being with the one you love...words spoken through the touch of hands.
That sense of unity that comes when someone understands, shares, and indeed, amplifies, one's own experience and emotion--perfect capture, LM.
Sweet pure peacefulness...love and nature. Excellent!!
Love themental vision ofthe Cypress Knees, "anchoring trees"........there is a beautiful simplicity in this poem, that really says it all.
so close with nature...I loved this...
I adore that she said the paw paws were nearly ripe........
That will stay with me all weekend.......
Egads! but I've been crazy busy!
Have missed your stuff!
Have a wonderful weekend!
*hugs*

How lovely to be at one with a companion in natural surrounds.
This is just lush! I really like this.
Oh yes .. when I think of paw paws I'm reminded of warm moist weather, ... which leads me to lush and ultimately to passion! Love this!
Understanding is what is so special about love. Not needing to explain everything...
This is absolutely beautiful and perfectly captures the tender side of love. So appropriate to incorporate nature, a slow and silent walk. Just lovely.
Your opening lines say so much about a relationship that will last---understanding the person, but also understanding the things/places she loves.
Mmmmm.... I can smell it.
And feel her soft little hand.
Nice.
You are so awesome.
