A Soft Knock

A soft knock, and by the door she stood. She’d come, as I hoped she would A hesitant “Hello” Followed by “Shall I go?” “No. Please stay. Don’t go away.” A welcome hug Tender, with great feeling Sending messages with its contact As through our bodies, emotions react Hands lightly held, guiding to a seat Where minds could meet as we talked And touched Finally an embrace Tender, unsure Hoping for more And then a kiss Unleashing passion’s bliss. A dream, of floating in the sky Not asking why Driven by irresistible force As Nature followed its romantic course Too soon the time to part For Fate had a different chart. Occasionally we meet And as we greet, our eyes Fire with a flame of subdued desire Sometimes hands would touch And through bodies Thoughts rush To that special day Where there was a soft knock And romance came our way
