Often love has its time when the shining of a smile,
Lingers on for just a little too long.
The wave of eyelashes from across a room,
Is sometimes known only to those succeptible to such inner cravings.
Have you ever listened to the banter of lovers,
As they sit close over an early lunch?
Kissing and softly speaking of each other,
With that glint of play in their eyes?
The spirit is infectious enough to ravish your heart,
And put you on your knees to the call of the smiles then brushed on your skin.
What sweet sin is this that I could love the ones who touch my heart?
All of them bear some sweet curtain for me to hid behind.
Is love so often ours to hold or are we love's to hold?
Have you ever watched lovers smile at each other,
And felt the infectious mood so much,
That you had to share your mood with someone you cared for?
Have you ever felt the delicious wrapping of someone's whispers around your heart,
When you called to share the moment?
Love is often noticed with great hands,
That
reach
out and out
Making the laughter come with the fluttering of passion.





Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence.

What sweet sin is this that I could love the ones who touch my heart? Ahh, gentle one, it is not a sin to love, for the soul is made to love, all differently to different ones, a heart big enough to have love for all, in its different ways and thoughts...it is only your sweetness projecting above the plain to extend out a loving hand..very gentle smile

Yes, I've noticed and have shared in the sensations of these feelings you so eloquently describe.  I wish to feel them more.  Excellent, my friend.

I loved this, loved it!  These lines are so true, and I bet a lot of people have felt this, and acted upon it   ...
Have you ever watched lovers smile at each other,
And felt the infectious mood so much,
That you had to share your mood with someone you cared for?
