Slow Love


I drank in his silence like water after a high run
Dizzy, exhilarating. Staring at the sun.
I’m nervous.
What did it take to deserve this?
You searched for the real me
Ready to learn, eager to see
Eyes dancing with life and light
Searching and fighting an inner fight.
The fullness drowned me.
Where did this road lead?
I fell for all of him, intense waters of blue.
His steady, cool composure while I burned a bright hue.
He set me on fire,
His Constance, the desire.
My ears burned for his steady heartbeat
His perseverance, playing for keep.
His slow love. Fingers lingering above my skin.
Exploring, not hunger. Love wasn’t outer, but in.
He lifted my soul as we walked,
His quiet confidence, no need for talk.
He held steady, my hands were shaking,
My heart was already yours for the taking.
My blood danced when his breath passed through mine,
His kiss left me full and empty all at the same time.
Giving me everything but taking a whole heart,
after the first time, I knew we’d never be apart.
