Listening to every heart

0 posted 2005-02-15 01:19 PM



~~~soft words~~~

what we need to hear
is the soft of our conversation,
words sprung from yesterday's romance
giving back that velvet glance
and taking this,
that one-more-chance

because we can,
~ although we've taken a stand
apart ~
we still speak
from the heart
although not as lovely
as once before

...bitter sometimes guards the door...

but I need to hear
that conversation soft
oft as once it came
from your lips
and spread like silken cloth
'round these hips
that once were slender, true
but they which still
belong to you

as you say you
belong to me
wondering if I want you, see?
just as you then wonder of me…

so can we store the angry words
misplace them, say, or let them
go away, silent and unheard?
take this hour, take it longer
to see if there is still the hunger
of what once was
in passion's kiss
to see if it is something
that we've surely missed

and find out if there lies aloft
a message still
from a conversation
soft…

Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen?  Keeping in mind, I must stand close...and keep my promises...

So gentle, so good....that's the way it has to be...has to.

This is a poem I somehow needed to see, and especially today, at this moment.

soft words from a loving heart
passonate about life and true tender
wisely hope sits on your swing
playing in the sun
harvesting dreams


well done poetess...you shine

soft is nice
when the hardness is allowed to simmer on hold for a while
soft words spoken with grace

Sissie

You are the master of the soft...in words, in voice, in skin, in eyes....and the thought is soft too, but not so soft that it forgets the edge of truth.

Hey Sunshine...love this. Where have all the soft words gone? Not sure...but love this plea you have penned. Heck a man could not help but to want to answer this with his heart. Bravo my friend.
