Syllable count checked on Poetry Soup Syllable Counter

Perception of Affection

Gentle,
Soft touch lingers,
A warm hug, a kind smile,
Kindness quiet presence felt deep,
Caring.

Warm feel
For cherished one,
With flickers of the heart
Smile glows, a serene silent song,
Soft touch.

Minding,
A gentle glance,
Fine feelings that linger,
A heeding tap on the shoulder,
Fondness.

 Calming,
Warm and tender
Expression of liking,
Soothing with pleasant words spoken,
 Softly.

Honeyed
Glance through the eyes,
Sweet compliments they give,
Kindness may be misunderstood
For love.
