her mind touching mine
thoughts run over my bare words
grasping my meanings
-----
dare to seek out love
who knows where or when you'll meet
one who's meant for you
-----
quick deep gasp and sigh
she finds herself taken by
breathless poetry
-----
from my dying fires
glowing embers reignite
she is the tinder
-----
don't applaud my words
all i ask is a small nod
just to know you heard
