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.
