Your words stir me <br />Like no others; <br />A breath of springtime <br />At the door <br /> <br />After the dry hearth <br />Of winter <br />Has frozen all <br />My bloodless fires. <br /> <br />Your gentle words <br />So soft, so low <br />A single syllable <br />Thaws the lock <br /> <br />As potent as any <br />Seed ever born; <br />My gentle harbinger <br />Of desire. <br /> <br />I'd pursue you <br />Through deathless winters; <br />Give you this old heart <br />So withered and torn <br /> <br />My hope is tireless <br />With you before me: <br />Something beautiful's <br />Being born.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/your-words-stir-me/
