her

it was just a basic
conversation
that became the
inspiration
to undress words
and address
the root cause
of love

it was an epiphany
that came in
with such smooth
clarity

he wanted to
see her
through his fingertips
and lips
move with the
motion of a blind man
to enhance vision

become in tune with
the texture of her skin
touch her
with tenderness
and compassion

she needs to know
how he feels about her
beyond words.
how he wanted to
feel her in the folds
of his arms.
feel protection
draped around her back

give her a safe place
to just breathe..
ease the torment of her thoughts
a place of reprieve..
he wanted her to believe
not in him

but in the force
that brought them
to this haven for healing
where she could be
cherished..adored
for the woman that
is her

soft kisses on her cheek
attentive fingers
stroking her scalp
a reassuring smile..
a look of understanding
and acceptance.

share with her
from the pond of his soul
that quiet place

lay the foundation
the core reasoning
for all that have transpired
within the midst of
every journey dared

he wanted her
to experience his love
outside the confines
of her mind

give her the closure
of pent up years
imagined..fantasized
and welcome her
to the grand opening
of all that is real
between them
