1971 Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri

Untitled III 
They sat together yet alone
Endowed by boredom's own
They ne'er refreshed
		With love's sweet warm
They sat alone
		Unmoving form
For hours they stayed there shunning all
Two heavenly bodies missing their call
To peace and order and harmony.

Their minds were somewhere else, it seemed
No lightness beamed
They ne'er refreshed
		With love's sweet warm
They sat alone
		Unmoving form
If they but knew they weren't alone
That one needs another before they're done
That one body needs another.

And all at once their eyes did meet
The scene turned sweet
With love refreshed
		They looked anew
With love refreshed
		Their power grew
One declared he loved the other much
By a simple, gentle, loving touch
And that's the way it should be.
