Shhhhhhhhhh!
my spirit resides in you
a reflection of me,
you,
so
you need not speak
with your eyes,
those words of longing to be
nestled again
within
the folds of my breast...
my arms never left you.

Forgive me
for not knowing how
to ingratiate myself
outwardly
with the joy
you bring to my heart..
forgive me
for not being true,
to me,
to accept
the soft whispers of you
...and
forgive me
for being me,
but understand
that I,
because
of you ,
know your love.

i stand
in your shadow
proud
that you bring
a quiet smile to my eyes
as i watch
the magic
of your charms...
warm my day.
