His touch
Her smell
His smile
Hers as well

Not a Kiss
Not Chocolates
Not power
Not profit

It’s intangible
Impalpable
Indescribably indescribable
But its manifestation is desirable
Never-ending.

Atoms like one
Adam
Held together by the ribs
Nucleus bounded to the heart of a woman
Eve
Bone of my flesh
Charged Electrons bonding
Instantaneously

His breath
Her dust
His rib
Her life
One flesh
