David Taylor - Defenceless

I would caress your heart
with tender handed words
and smooth your brow of worries
with such sweet scented verse
and first approaching as from behind
so that I am unexpected found
no name can reach your mind
before love pierces defenceless skin
which peels away beneath my gaze
and poetry melts your heart within.
