Her Sigh

A sigh passed from her soft lips, 
like ice cracking over the pond. 
It was not for fear I trembled, 
but for passion freed from its bonds. 

A glance entreated from her bright eyes, 
like a hunter’s horn across the fields. 
It was not for pain I flinched, 
but for the path I could not yield. 

A caress lingered from her slender hand, 
like molten fire on the plains. 
It was not for anguish that I moaned, 
but for the need I can't explain. 

A warmth passed between us
from heart to heart and 
through her hand.
 
When she pressed 
against my chest, 
I was lost before I began.

CayCay, you are way too good for my ego! ;-) Seriously, I'm glad you liked this and that it touched you. Poetry is supposed to reach within the reader and touch the heart. Thank you for your kind words. Ron
