doux / gentle

*

soft, inviting

you rest tenderly

in my mind

each thought

encases you

aching to embrace

fearing to bruise

or worse,

*

at times

you are a

mirage,

a vapor, a mist

that tiptoes in the

quagmire of grey

stimulating the

synapse,

*

pourtant, de temps en temps

i am caught in your

embrace

rendered speechless by

your strength

in you

i am never

alone

*

bisous,

léa
