softly
angelic fingers caress
providing comfort
and peace

without judgment
calming eyes gaze
granting serenity
elevating moods

dispersions shed
only moist lips
press gently
against a cheek ripe with stubble

ear pressed, life beats

lost in her breathing
steady and light
absentmindedly
I savor the moment

cool skin flushes
minor irregularity
in both breath and heart
our eyes meet

again for the first time
