Tenderness
That silken thread that binds ticking of the clock
with nestling of bees around the sundile outside
My love I have been looking for traces of us, far and wide
and none the wiser my saddened heart.
May those treasured moments of tenderness remain
you and me, behind the curtain of tears, the rain
and may the whitness of that first sigh
that warm shelter to us, never deny.
