Linger Over Me

Linger over me, my love
Give me a moment’s more care
Stay a while longer, dear one
Wrap my soul in softness fair

Wait until I’ve had my fill
Till ripples finally recede
Wait till tranquil dreams are past
Hold me to your heart, I plead

Linger over me, my love
Whisper sweet nothings to me
Run your fingers through my hair
Cloistered in love let me be

Linger over me, my love
Close luscious lips over mine
Give me benediction's kiss
Wet with a full bodied wine

Stay with me longer, my heart
Don’t rush this sweet afterglow
For in these dulcet moments
My mysteries you will know

Linger over me, my love
Prolong this time, I entreat
Let my heart glow in this truth
That to you my love is sweet
