When
When I hold your hand
The world melts into velvet streams,
The static of your palm,
Pulse beats in your wrist,
Send signals in a tactile Morse
And all becomes the stuff of dreams.
When I kiss your lips
My eyes close on external things,
The texture of your tongue,
The salt and sugar taste
Eradicates the world at large
And all becomes as angel wings.
When I touch your face
The tears bathe my fingertips,
The saline diamond orbs,
Ecstasy in silvered drops
Percolate my very soul
And all becomes a moist eclipse.
When I know your flesh,
My empty heart will overflow,
The yielding of your breast,
The aching splay of womanhood
Means everything that ever was
And all becomes a love to know.
When I have your heart
The heavens and the earth will meet,
The meaning of my life
In crystal clear sincerity,
And all becomes a prophecy
Made concrete and complete.
