Lips that purse
With passing thought
Smile more readily
Than expected
Touch welcome
As tender as that
Mouth is
Noble aquiline nose
Eyelashes dark against cheek
Coloured as precious stones
Golden like sunlight
Shifting with the thoughts
Behind those eyes
Can’t stop watching
Raised eyebrow
Only ever in fun
Soft strands of hair
Pliant under fingers
Often at the odds and ends
Hands gentle
Treat me with kid gloves
Words that pull me out
Sweeten and warm my ear
Straight to my soul
As arms enfold me
Keeping me
Cradling me
Making precious
This girl
A mind full
With hopes and dreams
Yours and others
With tidbits
Wit nearby to make me
Giggle senselessly
A heart reaching
Taking on others troubles
But never too full
For more

You ask why I adore you
Now…
Now, you know.
