Tender
Tender is her touch,
a wisp of cooling mist upon burning skin
Lies of honey balmed tissues torn and shredded
are strewn about the ground with errors of her grace
As giants stood upon my shoulders
to see her slightest charm
The ocean covered with gentle mens garments
to protect her angels step
Rain defies sweet gravity to remain upon her face
And the wind wraps its serpent coil round her form
The earth hugs her like a child torn from mothers arms
Anticipation drips from my every pore
and cools the molten core below
No time passes from past to present and futures scorn
When for your soul i will always yearn
