Best kind of gentle love poetry... 

 

Eyes closed, compassion 

moved, enchanted 

adoring, I squirm 

awed by your 

beauty, magical 

restfulness 

what tales your 

dreams would 

reveal, 

whisper to me  

~ 

Gentle, I hold 

your open hand 

awaiting my own 

a kiss from  

my lips, a nudging 

temptation, coyly 

you simper, a 

salacious grin 

I flutter internal 

~ 

I hold my breath 

as though my last 

arresting moments as 

none before 

drawing nearer 

I inhale your 

fragrance, arresting 

as softly I sing 

a sweet love 

song’s forever 

melody 

~ 

I find your pulse 

elevating 

through my fingertips 

yet still you breathe 

a gentle, tender love 

song, of you, of me…
