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”
