The Murmur

Holding you in my arms And feeling you hold on tight Melting into one another Together in the dead of night Your skin fascinates me How it becomes a part of mine Almost like one person But two separate still, intertwined I feel your heartbeat softly Your rhythm unlike mine But my heart was born different And will never be in time I feel like I’m sinking Looking into your eyes Hoping to see my reflection But you are all I find The passion in your kisses So sweet and so sublime Your body pressing on me Your mouth engulfing mine How can there be no love Where love is being made Are you lying to me or yourself Is it I or love that makes you so afraid?
