She said

“Your words are

like a gentle caress

to my soul

For your words

have the power

to undress my being

temper my pride

visit me in dreams

to make love

to my mind

I wonder

do you ever catch

the subtle dance

of my lingering gaze

silently revealing

the depths

of my deep affection”

He said

“I feel your longing

your need for love

The touch of a lover

Someone to cherish

your heart

as much as your body

And yes

I feel your subtle gaze

Desiring that in

your gaze you will

find hope, purpose

and most of all

refreshment”
