To one dying of thirst.
A loaf of bread for my hunger.
A soothing massage
For a horrible pain that’s
A gentle kiss to my soul.
A holding of hands to
Let me know that I’m loved.
A sweet spoken word of concern.
A call on the phone just
To see how I am.
The respect that I see in your eyes.
The three little words
That you openly say,
I now have begun to believe them.
The eyes of a goddess,
That cause me to float away,
Into another dimension.
The strength of your passions,
In spite of severe obstacles.
Yet the tenderness you still display.
A giving of self when you’d rather rest.
A caring for others is first.
Not giving in when it would be easier to do.
These are just a tiny few of the things,
That hold me captive as your devoted servant.
They are the” Essence Of YOU!”

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
