He Once

He once gave attention
When I needed it the most
His touch set me ablaze
Fire from coast to coast

He once touched my face
The hand across my cheek
Saying I was pretty
When I was oh so weak

He put his arms around me
Engulfed me in embrace
Whispering sweet things
Memories I can taste

He put his hands so softly 
Around my curvy hips
Not wanting to let go
To find my empty lips

He caressed my shoulders
With a delicacy unknown 
Tracing down my spine
Yes I did moan

He made me want more
Of his tender ways 
Looking in my eyes 
We both began to gaze.

He ran his kisses 
In an unspoiled place
The warmth of his mouth
Ever to encase

He knew my whole body
Like I never have
Finding about his way
Just sighing as I stay

He mapped out my heart
In uncharted waters
Wrapped up my love 
I was clay to his potter.
