Tenderness, a Pathway To Unfathomable Love

Kiss me as you’d kiss a baby, softly to show your love. Touch me gently, as you would someone hurt and afraid. Hug me and hold me tightly, that I might feel secure and protected. Smile at me and laugh with me, so I can see your joy and inner peace. These are the things that sooth my soul, inviting me to join you in a loving relationship. These are the traits that will open my heart, allowing love to flow freely. Agree with me that we each have the right to be authentic, and we’ll be free to be the best we can be. Now two shall be one as passion is unshackled, we shall frolic in unfathomable love.

(A kiss, a smile, a hug, and a soft touch) "These are the things that sooth my soul." I completely understand this feeling. Sometimes, simple moments can create such a beautiful mood. I know it does for me. Congratulations Bill, on Poem of the Day. Your thoughts curl gently around me. My best to you. :) Brandy
