Hands know love-
Clasped in beloveds hands; tight enough
Lips know love-
When the hungry other takes them; almost rough
Eyes know love-
When love's battered remnants lie everywhere
Nose knows love-
When it breathes that close rarefied air
Hair knows love-
When the strands mix about their face
Hearts know love-
When the body finds it; anyplace
Love shouldn't ever be considered rare-
When once you've felt it's form, so near.
