I whisper in your heart
to hear your hurting,
I kiss your tears
to taste away your fears,
touch your hands,
absorbing all your feelings,
snuggle close, scenting
pain-filled, broken years.
You gaze into my eyes
to know I’m seeing
all within your soul
you can’t convey.
In sharing all our senses,
flowered open,
love and understanding
feel a way.
I know your soul
by breathing in your essence,
believing all
my senses may reveal,
caring for you whole,
nothing concealed,
and treasure all the scars
I help to heal.
