A Sonnet: A Touch Of Your Breath Poem by Benjamin Hickmott

Beautiful woman, sweet lover of mine
I wish I knew what you are searching for
Your warm tender lips, that taste so divine
Don‘t know the answer, but could tell me more
Sometimes I wonder, the love I offer
Is it a comfort, or just one more stress
What are your feelings, lets share, not suffer
Open up to me, don‘t leave me to guess
I care for you so, and feel you are near
Those days and nights with my head full of you
Often I worry, sometimes shed a tear
Just waiting until our next rendezvous
The smouldering fire, I hope not in vain
A touch of your breath, I burst into flame
