I found myself,
melting
into the moment my eyes
first met your gaze
tenderness flowing freely
into mine
as fingers find your face
and trace a smile upon those lips
feeling your beats
healing my wounded heart,
each breath
caressing my skin
bringing sigh
to places
yet undiscovered.

Author notes
Inspired by a poem by my favorite poet and ten's (E.B.
XIII
And wilt thou have me fashion into speech
The love I bear thee, finding words enough,
And hold the torch out, while the winds are rough,
Between our faces, to cast light on each?--
I drop at thy feet. I cannot teach
My hand to hold my spirit so far off
From myself--me--that I should bring thee proof
In words, of love hid in me out of reach.
Nay, let the silence of my womanhood
Commend my woman-love to thy belief,--
Seeing that I stand unwon, however wooed,
And rend the garment of my life, in brief,
By a most dauntless, voiceless fortitude,
Lest one touch of this heart convey its grief.
Happy Birthday, Ten!!!Hope this is good for a sigh for ya ♥

If this was written to me as a gift or anything else I would be melting into a pool on the floor.
Your words are like the view from a mountain, or the first glimpse of a new born .. they fill a heart with things you have to experience to understand.
