The Heart Of The Romance

Longing gazes

Raise the stakes

Across crowded rooms

Sending out

Sparks 

Of animation

As steps are taken

To close the gap

Proximity sends

Invitations 

As hands become aware

Covertly touching

With gentle restraint

Upping the stakes

Quietly communicating 

Intent 

Smiling and laughing

Sizzling heat

Delivers

Compliments 

Wrapped in blankets

That touch the soul

Time and again

Alive with fire

Strong eye contact

Laser focused

Enveloping 

Deep conversations

Supportive and observational

Reflecting attentive sparks 

Seeking 

And collecting

The mind 

Inquiring

The body

Capturing

In intimate detail

The depth 

The heart

Of the romance
