Body Language

I try to hide every feeling
pushing each desire down as I breathe;
I dance around each touch I can’t take; 
Aching to make a move, my hands shake;
Do you taste like cherry or more like vanilla?
Your grip says you’re tough 
but your eyes, they say gentle;
Unspoken feelings but louder than thunder, 
with a sip of courage I show you my fire; 
Opening a window to my affection   
my tongue can’t compete with attraction; 
I walk away but all I want is to stay;
My head explodes my heart spins,   
take my hand walk through my door; 
Just give me one night to explore; 
You say my body gives me away, 
 you hear every word I don’t say.

Yes...sometimes no words are needed; body language makes up for unspoken words. Luckily your words are very effective...you found the right ones to express what you had to say! Regards // paul
