I lay my head on your shoulder
Your hands feel the silk of my hair
The feathery softness of my breath
Caressing your neck while I’m there
Your arms encompass me
I feel you tighten the embrace
Your hands move slowly upward
Then your fingertips touch my face
No words are spoken
During this entire affair
But our feelings are exchanged
They travel silently through the air
We pass powerful emotions
As your eyes lock with mine
Creating trembling sensations
To rocket up and down my spine
The quickening beats of my heart
Makes the blood flow swiftly through my veins
I almost become dizzy
As our love strengthens and sustains
So many thoughts traverse
Between your heart and mine
Colliding and intermixing
Until they immerse and combine
There are simply no words
For my immense love for you
But within my impassioned silence
I hope my voice speaks through

Tracy, this is the love I wanted from my sweet baby, but dared not asked for; afraid of being too forward and hurting her purity with my demands, though I know she had faced and met the demans for love in the past. But she lives in a fairy land; where it is so easy to rock the boat. When this happens it is out the door. She is still a little girl inside. I love her to pieces, and can't even express it, afraid she will feel I or it is dirty and not somehting to consider. I don't know what to do. Seems like I always do the wrong thing. See what this poem brought up from my bowels. God, I have never loved anyone the way I love her and yet I am so insecure and unsure in her presence. Now she is dumping me. Now I have proved too demanding. Sorry to drain it on your poety. But you work is so good! So very good! Bill Murray
