Gently... Gently... Poem by Dónall Dempsey

Gently... Gently...

Rating: 5.0


She came up behind me quietly
... kissed me longingly.

'What was that for? '
I smiled enquiringly.

'Not only are you a gentleman
but a gentle man.'
she explained simply.

I laughed
at the distinction

her words took me
apart & put me back together

better than I was before.

She took my hand
in her hand

held it to her lips
kissed its fingertips

a storm
rose in my heart

she... gentled... me.
