Cheek

Sweet words
Soft breaths
You possess my heart
You've captured my soul.
Peace fills me with a
Radiant light like the sun.
Love between us -
Needn't be professed.
It's known,
Clearly known.
Soft hands,
tender touches.
Chills encircle me,
like the wind.
You caress my face
My cheek is soft,
you say.
Brown eyes
filled with knowledge
filled with wisdom.
Distance, yet caring,
kind and searching.
Hold my hand
Hold my heart
Never let me go.
