Sometimes a whisper hits you louder than a thunderclap <br />When he first says I love you softly in your ear <br />Everything that happens, happens here <br />And there’s no world outside his quiet embrace. <br />Caught up in the moment, his breath soft upon your face, <br />There is no other sound that you can hear. <br /> <br />Sometimes a gentle touch shakes you harder than a hammer blow <br />When his hand first meets your own, <br />Light, like a tender summer breeze, <br />It blows your heart away and though his fingers barely graze your skin, <br />The feel of them runs through your nerves like lightning, <br />Sending loveshocks through you deep within. <br /> <br />Sometimes the smallest light blinds you with its fire <br />When he looks into your eyes and for the first time <br />You see twin stars within him, burning bright <br />And you know you’ve looked into his soul <br />Then you can see no other man, <br />And nothing bears comparison with his perfection. <br /> <br />No promises, no praise, <br />No presents, no pretty words, <br />No gold, no diamonds, no jewellery, no fame <br />Are worth as much or burn so fierce <br />As true love’s tender flame.<br /><br />Christopher McInnes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-lyric-2-sometimes-a-whisper-hits-you/
