'Softly'
you speak
and to
my two cent heart
your words are
incomparable wealth
untold
while its only
you and I
that can block out
the rest of the planet
as we further
commit to know
the full grade of
this rough terrain
between us
praying it will become
a road we shall prize
above all others
never fear my love
you are my spring loaded
jack hammer lover
and I am
always
your softest of all places
to land
aching for you as I do now
always
permanent pain
yet another day's dues
forward
thrust
my shaking breath ever
remains
tenderly fierce upon the
sheltering crook
of your unforgettable neck...................
