Weak Spots I

A soft hand squeeze in the dark,
A confession of magnetism,
The strange gaze beyond the majorities’ fleeting sight,
The evanescence of moonbeam in an observant eye

Arms that enclose around what shrinks,
Helping the slight grow in its warmth
A quiet mouth resting on a throbbing head,
With ears ready to listen and understand

Tearful submission,
Greeted by acceptance and love
Masculine guidance,
With sincerity and purpose from above

A quick bite of the lip,
Dragging against the nerve of desire,
The slow blink before a perfect smile,
A dream pronounced with passion

A unique series of writes Laura. I actually started with II and III and came back to I. A very clever idea.

Where's the catch Laura? , this is nicey nicey, and quite different, I had to read it twice to make sure a stanza hadn't been omitted,...nice though ....only one small change I'd make,...remove " heartfelt" from line 2, just gives it an edgy feel without losing the essence? ....Ian

Ah...hm, I see what you mean. a confession of magnetism is assumed to be heartfelt. Lol. I will take your suggestion and omit the word. Thanks Ian, have a great weekend. <3~Laura

It is those weak spots that make us who we are, Laura ... without them, what would we be? "Arms that close around what shrinks, Helping the slight grow in its warmth" ... these particular lines got to me: vulnerable and intimate. This was a tender poem.

Thanks for reading, Timothy. Sometimes it's the small things that make me weak to the point of tears. Vulnerability sometimes feels good. <3~Laura
