Tenderly

so slowly I
with trembling hand
unsurely reach
and gently touch

and wait to see
if you will move
away from me
or with still stay

may I move
slowly glide
softly now
touching you

learning now
the flow the shape
of the forms
that I behold

will you perhaps
more closely move
that my touch
may more feel

and together we
will then embrace
together caress
and then learn

of those things
before now hid
and to share
freely give
