Gently

Written March 2009 for K

We awake to rain.

He stirs.

His eyes gently open in the gray light

and I'm wrapped

in the silver protetion of his

Embrace "

 

Good morning (he whispers).

 

Gently the tips of our fingers entwine,

the contact so small (so ordinary).

But in his touch

(his gentle touch)

(his hand on my back) exists

(a balance) a harmony only

present when he's near.

 

Outside,

the rain falls

gently.

 

I fall for him.

(gently)

This is really nice- but I kind of feeling like a peeping-Tom hiding behind the curtain.

Thank you for this- it really lifted my spirits. The voice of this is so feathery soft and sweet- it's wonderful. Everything I like about a poem, short, sweet and deep.
