shyness

 
don't look at me...
it hurts to be this vulnerable
I ache in summer's touch...flower petals

your metaphors linger
I remember the meaning
by your vow...beautiful

whispering secrets in sunshine
I shy from your gaze
with a blush I turn away feeling too strongly

your gentleness surprises me
hardened looks give way to tenderness
in a moment's time
I am in your arms touching your soul

what I uncover takes my breath away
you feel as I do
shy to the touch
longing to go further

wondering should we?
