hold my hands she said
seemed the loving thing to do
i did what she asked
-----
audience of one
to your soaring aria
rousing crescendo
-----
you're the path i seek
the hills and curves and valley
on love's dear journey
-----
touch me like that dear
how ocean strokes naked shore
most natural way
-----
so i have written
first law of love is freedom
-----
sweet as you may be
you would never look at me
words are all you see
-----
sweet and honest she
in the midst of her own pain
taking time for me
-----
i wish that you knew
dear the truth would make you blush
how much you matter
-----
how soft are your lips
yet so warm and insistent
mine long to find out
-----
poetry our storm
caught in carnal hurricanes
thunder at the end
-----
how i fear your words
reading them i come undone
with desires you raise
-----
to choose a lover
i would softly call your name
hope you would reply
-----
dark shade of orchid
petals of a pastel hue
a blush of honey
