Softly

Gentle the touch from smooth brushing kisses Softly I come to you, Softly I will Tender the night of our hungry wishes As lovers, we claim sacred time until Warm is love's breath that crosses the spaces Yearning turns the spring of time's winding clock Tremors from soft fingers leave trailed traces And give lovers keys that open the lock Lost in ambrosia where the heart now sings A wanton fiery need burns within To find paradise in flight without wings Sacred, vulnerable rejoicing in Time is in motion and time will stand still Softly I'll come to you, Softly I will

You started off with a sonnet, of course.. Seven years later you have written so many, delighting all soupers... This was not really a contest, it was an opportunity to showcase your first poem and I am glad you entered. Thank you.
