I witness through the gentleness of your hands, the tender strength of your arms, in your eyes- love, I understand the speech your body expresses, The slight turn of your head, the way the flames in my heart Are fanned- great waves beginning, and your heart too- See its beauty, feel its warmth, And then I can hear it. My breath is withdrawn but just as sudden- Everything is made clear- the love I attribute From you. Never let me go, if I fall I will shrivel- so cold. A humble request of my love, my tears, expressed through A trembling kiss. Lift my face to yours, so I feel your breath, Feel the beginning of lust, But it is so much more. Substantial and pure, enveloped in peace, A feathered touch upon my skin I cease To exist. As I am calm, in the mold of your arms Held and caressed, I know true bliss, We may finally begin, each other, we may finally begin, Life with our hearts, Entwined as one, I do not wish to be my own I want only to be yours.
