Heaven rests in your eyes,
while grace is in your touch.
You love every inch of them,
and covet just as much.

To be loyal and submissive
is to love you,
every kiss laced with a promise,
every gesture tinged with foreshadowing
of what is to come,

Play with them--
play with the hearts that lie inside,
so sweet and pure,
so innocent and naïve.
They trust you at your word.
They love you as a shell,
knowing not of what is inside...

that confidence that comes with peace with self ; at last you admit that the unknown is not necessarily threatening now you must take the sinister out of the cordiality ! we know that the shells shield storms but storms are what keep you vibrant and passionate and creative. THE CALM IS NONETHELESS COOL!
