Title: Lest We Wonder

Square Filled: Crush

Warning: None

Summary: Imagine lying next to your love, basked in the moonlight as he traces his gentle fingers on your skin as you read a poem he made for you. Sam lazily reads the text, humming in content as Bucky presses hesitant kisses on the man's shoulder. The poem just spoke too much words Bucky couldn't say at first, and Sam adores it, overwhelmed at the emotion it gave him.

Set a hand over my heart.

What do you feel?

.

Do you hear the drumming,

The gentle caress of waves

Upon fantastical shorelines,

The terror in my chest that

Aches at every breath you take?

.

Do you hear people singing in liberty,

People screaming for justice,

People uplifting other people,

All in your sacred name?

All for the bed you made?

.

Do you hear the sky booming

In an expanse of colors,

The gunfire and cannons that

Frenzy in this narrow cage,

All in a war for your presence?

.

Do you sense the gratitude in my chest,

One that spirals in everlasting madness,

All in your name,

All in your presence,

All in your love?

.

Set a hand on my lips.

What do you feel?

.

Do you hear the fireworks going off

At the slightest gentle touch of them,

The sound of rain when your touch

Leaves a cold print on them,

Or Cupid's Hymn of Love itself?

.

Do you see how my lips turn red

At the slightest touch on them,

How my eyes sparked in awe,

How my cheeks flared in scarlet,

How my lips read my soul?

.

Do you think of these lips and feel

The contentedness of knowing that

It's all yours,

For all of me and my body and soul

Are yours no matter who adores it?

.

Samuel Wilson.

Set a hand on my love.

Do you feel it?
