You smiled,
and my heart
was no longer
my own.

It's now yours.

You hold it
cupped in your hands.
To be tended gently
or crushed in an instant.

Your choice….

I wish you every happiness and may you always have the best of the good things in life. a brand

All we can do is trust the one that captures it. I too will opt for the tender gentle stuff anytime. Nice to find one of yours in here and one that is so wonderfully expressed.

Mark, thank you. I am always glad to see your replies to my poetry. I trust the one who has done the capturing, just letting him know what power he has.

cupping with hands is nice.... but spooning is much more fun...

Does aussie land Know the term spooning...

You know when you snuggle up behind each other to go to sleep... or not.

Dee, How fragile our loving hearts are. Very nice.
