Barely There ... Still

The first time we met, I barely looked up
shyness had me on hold.
'Twas last snow of the year
I remember it so, but I felt
how your eyes warmed my cold.

I knew from the moment, we sat face to face
and you swept me over in look,
we were connected,
just wasn't sure how
and it left me a little bit shook.

Timid I was, and at times,
still it shows, but relax me
in thoughts, each caress
Wondering why, you had touched me that way
while watching your lips, word express.

As you lifted my chin,
and your hands graced my face
in goodbye touch, until then,
I never expected, the feelings suppressed
to rise up, just barely again.

Barely there thoughts,
and barely there touches
and kisses I bear in my mind.
waiting, I will, 'til the next that we meet
until then, dream I barely confined.

M

The soft touch and the eye contact is all that is needed to start a forest fire which can burn out of control

The ties that bind us to love are not easily severed,
and often times end up rubbing the heart raw after awhile.

You are such a good poetess Maur, and that never changes.

Happy day and hugs~
