Subtle

Subtle
Like black rain
On a glassy lake
You steal over me
In your beautiful subtle way
Silent
Like your whisper
Echoing here in my ears
Sending shivers down my spine
And flushing my face with thoughts and inner voices
Shaken
Is what I always am
When you look down into
My eyes that yearn for your touch
That plead with you to fill me with your sensation
Subtle
Is how you creep
Quietly into my soul
And before I know what's happened
There you are, exploring the recesses of my spirit
Silent
Is how you speak
To me in the tongues
Of angels from the night sky
As you soothe me with so many yet no words
Shaken
Is how you
Leave my heart
Each time that we meet
And each time that we lock eyes and touch
Subtle
Is how you are
Perfect as of God
The ultimate gift of peace
And grace and truth and pleasure
