An Innocent Love
A bond that cannot be broken
A tilt of her chin, a questing beg,
Stillness, the patience of a saint,
Her chest vibrating lustily,
Her quiet voice roaring at low decibels.
**
Her heat coats my skin, infusing emotion,
Giddiness causing my heart to beat faster,
A gentle smile graces my lips,
As she causes me to melt, like liquid sunshine.
**
A little head bump, attention seeking,
Her back against my chest, blissfully relaxed,
She’ll wait, knowing she’ll win the draw,
Eyes half closed in pure pleasure.
**
An additional nudge, a silent question,
“Why’s it taking so long,” left unasked,
She knows the message has been received,
Her language universal, even if not in English.
**
Another tilt of her chin; a well-placed silent ‘please’,
My hand automatically moving along her jawline,
She moulds her body against me, gratitude showing,
Her expressive amber eyes showering me in adoration.
