Those times we read each others minds Across the spaces in between goose bumps Chuckles and giggles held the reigns of day And I never for a second doubted And something in my voice teased the petals open You covered yourself as a virgin caught bathing I knew I had touched upon a tender spot And I never for a second doubted You pushed off shore but left the anchor tied In my own way, I hopped into the water carrying the line When you took it from my hand, you growled but I heard song And I never for a second doubted Preparing me, basted in demons of clouds and stringent mists Out to prove that man feels only anger or lust…but never softer That I saw gentleness, and fear pierced the shield And I never for a second doubted That I told you how I loved you took such courage Knowing you in the spaces between Though you admonished me, denying any feeling And I never for a second doubted The gravity of love is stronger than the pull More telling than the lips could quiver back into the open mouth More full than oceans in the heart that cry out and repeal And I never for a second doubted You are the love of my life Copyright Kkh 5/4/04 |

This is beautiful. I loved it. I am glad to be back here too. Sometimes it takes me awhile to even think of new poems anymore. Cold hands means a warm heart |
