The Sigh

how peacefully the moon light
Passes through my window 
In quiet waves and a settling hush
That is the way mi amor
That I wish to entwine your heart

I yearn to embrace you
Just as birds cuddle in nest
When the nights of winter start
I am a prisoner of your kiss
Since your lips have touched my mouth

Such scorching lips and honeyed tongue
That delicate dart between your teeth
Tonight a kiss escapes my lips
Flowing to you in your bed
But just as it left it burst
In the air like a bubble

And turned into a sigh!
