'ere I Sleep

I know she loved me
not because she told me
but because she showed me.

Silky fingers through my hair
nibbled kisses everywhere
pleasure nigh too much to bear.

Wordless whispers in breath soul deep
foreordained our fusion to keep
thus I know she loved me 'ere I sleep.

Thank you, Lindsay. Yes, "trust and feelings" are operative in this poem and everywhere else. As usual, your comment expresses truth. Hugs, Paul

It's not always words that express love. It is best expressed by a touch or a look.

Thank you, Jenna. It's sweet of you to comment; I appreciate it. I agree: Words are sometimes less than adequate for expressing love (and not as much fun). Hugs, Paul

I value and appreciate your kind comment, Deb M. I hope I am worthy of it. For some reason I'm unable to open your Soup Mail. I'm anxious to read it. Can you send it again? Hugs, Paul
