Bathed at first in milky dreams, creamy br Smooth flowed your silken words to me, br Drenching my heart, and without too br Much sweet-talk I, aware that you br Cared was emboldened with tender br Affection. No need to pretend br Shyness now. We feed from parts br Of the same fate, unseen but heart- br Felt, - a soul-love always waits, tight br Bound, but spacious enough to lightly br Lie in the mind. Silky soft words br Catch the spirit of love at first, br Then, with time words harden to stone, br Embed; themselves deeply, and honed br With devotion, become a part br Of the union of coupled hearts.
