Gentleness

The gentleness of spoken souls
With whispers do intake
The deepened breath of living trust
For soulmates lust partake

Upon red lips shared sweetened hope
Of all together be
When tears of pride released to hide
From all that wide eyes see

The touch and gaze of heated stare
Beyond the hardened heart
Can make week knees and taken breath
Alive with hope to start

To trust from truth and learn to love
Burned deeper than past pain
For when her lips land on my soul
I'll learn to love again
