you told me in a dream
I never want to stop
looking at you
and the ice that once ruled
my veins
slowly began
to seriously warm
into a molten understanding
of those simply spoken words'
true deeper meaning
a gentle cut of your breath
across my starving neck
had bees dancing in my chest
the best kind of romance
honest feeling
so much so
why that you had my heart
captured
marveling at the sudden
tender boon......
