Love's Anatomy

Blink

Too much light.

Wink

She's just right.

Squint

He's not there.

See

Them smiling fare.

 

Yawn

Took tired and weak.

Smile

Too shy to speak.

Taste

It's made with love.

Shout

To heaven above.

 

Feel

The with your fingertips.

Caress

The softness of their lips.

Hold

Their hand, and not let go.

Touch

The heart that's now aglow.

 


Sit

Alone when they have gone.

Awake

In bed from dusk till dawn.

Lie

Till you believe you're fine.

Stop

Waiting for a sign.

 

Lift

Yourself when you are down.

Release

The saddness in that frown.

Push

Away the anger and sorrow.

Pull

Yourself up and face another tomorrow.
