Words Fail Me

Softly, softly, my love,
do your fingers trace
the fullness of my cheek,
trailing a message,
a whisper, as soft as new down.

I open my lips to speak
sweet words of love,
but hear only, a sigh come forth.
Words fail me.

Deeply, deeply my love,
do your warm eyes
seek the depths of my own,
speaking a message,
a murmur, in silent prose.

I open my lips to speak
sweet words of love,
but hear only, a sigh come forth.
Words fail me.

I yield, I yield, I yield.
