A Lover Reborn

He takes her in his hands once more
In delicate caress
Not wanting favors less or more
Than just forgiveness

For all the years of cruel neglect
That came from his own sorrow
His spirit would not e’er expect
But kindness in the morrow

His tongue in silence had abused
All of her gracious ways
That he enjoyed and overused
In those voracious days

And now he begs just one more chance
To prove himself more kind
And gives her one last loving glance
As thoughts consume his mind

So great an imploration dealt
No one has ever heard
A silent plea so strongly felt
Without an uttered word

She then awaits her lover’s touch
Surrounding her with care
Those feelings she enjoyed so much
In days of love and dare

His fingertips softly invoke
That passion once again
As she responds with gentle stroke
His faithful poet pen

I must agree with everyone else when I say this is yet another beautiful piece from a wonderful poet.

The wonderful gift of forgiveness free so beautifully expressed. Another lovely poem, Liz!

Er, sorry I keep pulling up poetry past...it's temptation I can't resist! I figure with the speed this forum moves it won't make too much of a difference!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie
