Butterfly Kiss

when she leans close,
i lose my breath.
she is my life;
her kiss is my death.

it amazes me
that a kiss so light,
could make me feel
as dark as night.

it is all so baffling, 
i explode as i suck in.
i feel like a child,
in this mood that i am stuck in.

she is my everything;
the very breath in my lungs.
without her i'm useless,
like a ladder with no rungs.

her lips dance on mine,
a graceful waltz of kisses.
i cant help but think:
this must be what a dead man misses.

her kisses light like butterflies,
her light breath in my face.
"i love you" she says, 
and my heart will never cease to race.
