“LEARNING TO KNOW YOU”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
The tenderness of a poem, with many words about you,
trying to say how I feel,
and about things we would do…
I write about your touch, gentle and loving, with bliss,
and wanting to return it to you,
and to seal it with a kiss…

Your words true and deep, with so very much meaning,
ones that are tender,
and with whispers of loves aching…
A wanting passion for you, whenever you come close,
I am never satisfied,
as my thoughts I can’t compose….

All of these things I didn’t know, there’s no one to blame,
when you entered my heart,
and made it what it became…
Soft, from hardness; warm and giving, from coldness,
somehow it became this way,
perhaps it was you, that made it amorous…

I don’t know all of the answers, but one thing I can’t argue,
this was all happening to me, when I was
“Learning To Know You”…

It been too long since I've read your work. This is no less beautiful than the rest, and I can relate.

The title makes me think of one of my favorite songs from the King and I, "Getting to Know You."

And the learning process is a thing of magic and beauty... mending hurts and filling empty spaces. *S* Beautiful!

Ah, wonderful Bill. Your writing is like the ocean when it's calm.
