That I Could

Oh that I could breathe you in
taste the fragrance of your skin
trail my kisses down your spine
take you in and make you mine.

Oh that I could kiss you deep
passion’s flavor and so keep
rapture burning in your eyes
hear the whisper of your sighs.

Oh that I could hold you tight
keep you close during the night
tender bring you close to me
feel your longing be set free.

Another excellent poem, Rob, with your signature 'Levasseur' use of repitition that is used to great effect. Cheers - Gary
