I Recall Your Face

I've started being able to recall your face
Which isn't always the case with me.
I've been known to fail to recognise
Someone I've chatted to for hours!

But my fingers feel again the texture of your skin
Your eyes startle me with sudden blueness
And the straight-lined mouth unfolds
To make me also smile. 

Your head inclines; does it really

to really know who He truly was
walking down

Now let me start:

I recognise the kindness when you say “that was great,”
I recognise the touch when you touch my skin,
I recognise the attraction

How To Recognise a Sheep

How to recognise a sheep - let me tell you, dear 
The rules are simple, so take note of what I tell you here.

Neither will you see it with a scarf on, or
