Your Beauty

if i touch you will you fade away into nothingness? if i breathe the sweet breath of life upon your softness will you melt into the sweet sensation of my milky thoughts? if i taste the tender hope of your most ravishing thoughts would i become as the deaf-adder and stop at nothing until i dissipate into my grave? will i ever succumb to this one hope of knowing that your beauty has become my ugliness and no longer am i worth this mere speck of dust which i hide myself within. your beauty.
