"We are born helpless. As soon as we are fully conscious we discover loneliness. We need others physically, emotionally, intellectually: we need them if we are to know anything, even ouselves."
-C.S. Lewis
If I were to kiss the palms of his hands
Pour oils as sweet as nectar to soothe his pines
If I were to kiss his fingertips then trace a line to his palms
Caress them to my cheek where they belong
If I were to take his hands in rhythmic yearning
Press to my breast to ease his fitful burning
Then press my lips to his lonesome mouth
T'would ease the more his sad and turned down pout.
A heart as caring and compassionate as yours deserves all the appreciation in the world, and rarely receives it. I appreciate You!
This poem to me speaks of a woman's true appreciation of a man.
Love, Pierre
