Words Were Born

Words were born that they might find your ear. A gentle breath against you, my lips brush your skin with the desire to whisper every word you could never hope to hear from another. Volumized in colorful meaning, adorned in gems of truth. They sate and appease in the moments need to be something more than words. To be something more living.. Breathing. Our gaze meets, a smiling comfort in your eyes reprises a longing that remained unspoken while conveying everything. I'd gladly drown within the gaze that you reflect. Spellbound trepidation founded in the unknown as my fingers linger upon you, heralding their intent. The murmuring excitement rushing through your heart chords to strum in musical bliss against my touch. If only every moment born of my impulse could cause such stirs within a creature so exquisite. If every aching entice of my hand and lips could bring you to move to my whim. I'd never need for food, water, or shelter again.

Thank you, Bette. I think it's important to understand that everyone wishes nothing more than to be desirable to someone they care for.

Jesse, would this have been the mother of your children? Very well expressed. May I wish you a glorious Ester, though you lost a dear friend a week/s ago, think of the victory of death, sin, and satan that Jesus Yeshua won for us at the Calvary Cross. He is Risen! Hosanna to our King

It's more a response to that feeling of wanting more in your exchanges with another, than something for entertainment. It's about deep connection, so much that the thought of not having it is an aching pain.
