He Touches Her

With the touch of his hand

Placed gently on her face

With just a simple stroke,

 

He soothes her soul

Genuinely whole.

 

Her sad emerald green eyes

Beg him pleadingly brave

Love her infinitely.

 

Stilled, their affection stirs,

His Love now equals hers.

 

Though cautiously weighing

Risk verses their fate

Cut so terribly raw

 

Old remains of heartache

Love preciously at stake.

 

Greater than his loving

Fearing he, she'll forget

Or Fall out of her mind

 

Too curiously drawn,

Yet, He’s slow to move on.

 

She shy’s away the fear

Delights in his courtship

Screams satisfyingly…

 

“The bitterness has died!”

Quite quietly inside.

 

For she loves him truly

She’s sensitive & pure

Embracing his warm hand

 

Unknowing his sweet touch

To her, matters so much!

 

Eyes pierce her wounded soul

Searching yet, for her truth

Her life story, her love.

 

He needs her too, as ‘his’.

His Baby Girl, his Miss.

Lovely, the tone is soft, slow and whispering, you really do fall into a sense of intimacy with the speaker. The only jarring note I found when reading was rhyming 'curiously drawn' with 'slow to move on', I found myself readying 'awn' for 'on' and it just briefly pulled me from the fantasy you were trying to create. Other than that, gorgeous.

Sad indeed that folk write and input their poetic thoughts online yet never reappear to thank those that have went to the trouble to read & review ? Lest they be taken seriously ill and have not pulled through, there is no excuse !!

The portrait was clearly painted with an especially nice lite touch on heart strings still slightly out-of-tune. Success for your efforts with me, I enjoyed this peace.
