I Envy the Woman Whose Lips

i envy the woman whose lips 
your ample mouth has gently kissed 
whose very look enslaves your soul 
i ponder yet all i have missed 
  
i envy her still whose arms 
press you to her breasts so tenderly 
who shares your secret hopes and dreams 
and keeps your fire burning steadily 
  
i envy the woman whose bed 
your long lean body slumbers in 
forgive my heart's dear love desires 
that which others consider a sin 
  
i envy the woman i don't even know 
who possesses what i can only desire 
to be empowered by someone so fine 
i envy her body-her soul on fire
