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.

This was beautiful, so tender and so filled with love. The pain of past heartache is evident, but this soothes that from the readers mind as they hope for nothing but the best for these two. Very cool, Carrie.

I love your composition. The descriptions enveloping the beauty of two souls reaching for each other. Taking a risk. Having to push through the fears, and embrace what will eventually heal their fears. Nicely done. Very enjoyable.

A beautiful and powerful story. I like the tender desires and emotion in the poem.
"Greater than his loving
Fearing he, she'll forget
Or Fall out of her mind"

Very well written poem! I like the structure of the stanzas. It adds to the mood and even a little bit to the atmosphere of the poem.
The raw emotion in this poem is evident. You really captured the emotion of the moment and portrayed it realistically.
Well done.
