Tenderness
When the weight of the world was heavy
she softly lifted his chin
and gave him a kiss.
When darkness clouded his mourning skies
she smiled as she lifted his chin
and kissed his lips.
When everything seemed against him
she smiled and tightly held him
while kissing his lips.
When he fell down and stumbled in life
she lifted his spirits with the touch of her hand
and her breath upon his lips.
Whenever he was sad or lonely
she comforted him with her nearness
and kisses upon his lips.
On those times when he made a fool of himself
she wrapped him in her nakedness
and kissed, and kissed.
Whenever he was feeling out of touch
she gave herself to him
and they kissed.
