Do You? |

I sat, watching the grains fall, hearing the words again. Words of love and kindness, of compassion and desire. Words of a moment, when two share, give and let each other feel. On my haunches, as the sand swept lingeringly around my ankles. Thinking of a kiss, of a taste savored, savored yet again. Do you? Do you trust me? Again the tiny granules fell, as did a tear from my eye. Look into my eyes for the answers, for in my soul are those things you desire to hear. Touch my chest, feel the firm and steady staccato beat...Does my heart skip? You hold my soul and heart within the tenderness of delicate fingers. Protect them as I protect your own within mine...For....yes, yes I do. And I will until the desert rains wash my tears into the raging sea. And then, even then.....I will. |
