Your Body Language Speaks

You’re not adept at using words But your body language can speak Fluently of all that you feel And expresses all that you seek I know just from a simple look It’s time to be at your command Or if you want me to take control To make you obey my demand I feel in every single touch Just what your heart’s trying to say How you want to make love to me With passion till night turns to day And then there are those blessed times When your arms are my protection Or when you feel I’ve wandered off They keep me in tight detention When jealousy is burning hot And you want me to heed the sign Your arm tightens on my shoulder And tells him, “Beware, She is MINE!” And when you gently stroke my hair Just before I drift off to sleep Your fingers speak these very words: “Your dreams in my heart I will keep.” When I awake and see you smile The mischief written on your face I know that I can bring you joy For I take you to that sweet place When your full lips close over mine I can sense that you are in need So I guide you much like a child To where you can hungrily feed When you force your hands over mine I know I need to surrender I can see it there in your eyes You want to claim not be tender At those times when you turn your back And you close up your face to me I know I need to do penance If your favor I wish to see And though you don’t give me the words That express your feelings so deep Your body language speaks to me In eloquence that makes me weep!
