A Touch of Your Hand

will you take my hand

lead me

not into your bedroom

but into your heart

a fire burns inside

a desire for only you

a desire for your love

 

as much as i would

love for you to take me

into a world of passion

i am a patient man

and the aching inside

my soul for your love

is stronger than my

want for your body

 

i long to touch you

but only with fingers

of love

 

a love that sends waves

of tenderness into

the very depths of you

and sends ripples of

excitement back into me

for your heart

 

will you take my hand

lead me to you

lead me into a true love

that lust could never conquer

passion could never quench

a heart that could never betray

 

could you do that with

a touch of your hand

I am gonna become a fan of yours for sure, Travis. Such sensitive poetry. Too bad all men can't "think" this way! Luv, andrea (if you wantn to see the pictures that inspired all the lovely haiku here at the site, go to Raul's bio or latest blog and click on his photo album there. You can see all the pictures he has used. I think they are still there!)
