The Touch of Love
By
Donald L. Vasicek
The breath of lavender sweeps me
into microcosms of you. I touch
it’s delicate blossoms and feel your
smooth face. I smell it’s majestic
columns and see your strong
eyes. I feel it’s soft sharpness and
tumble in your hair. I see it waving
in the wind and hear you whispering
your magic in my ear. I am gone.
I am gone. I will not return to what
I knew life to be before our lips
touched and we exploded into love.
-I Just Wanted to Tell You That I Loved You
You know, there was this special little place where I hid.
It had doors and windows and the smell of lavender.
The smell always brought me to you.
You know, you, the woman I love.
How can I feel anything else but love for you?
How?
That’s why I hid in this special little place.
To hide my love for you.
Then, I told you I loved you.
I told you I wanted to hold you in my arms.
I told you I wanted to feel your warmth next to me.
I told you I wanted to stroke your hair and kiss your lips.
I told you I wanted to be with you.
I know that’s heavy stuff, but I had to tell you.
I see now that you have your own hiding place
and
it has nothing to do with me.

“When The Snow Falls”
When the snow falls,
quiet and soft,
silent and white,
whispers trickle
through the flakes,
I hear your gentle voice,
smell your lavender fragrance
taste your accepting lips,
touch your silky hair,
see your scintillating eyes
and
feel your compelling presence.
It is then that I miss you most
of all.
