Your Touch

Sometimes at night I lay awake 
with you just at my side
Although you're there right next to me
I feel alone inside
In my times of loneliness 
nothing means as much
as when your loving hands reach out
to sooth my soul with touch

Your warm embrace comes beckoning 
the coolness of my skin
satisfying hunger from 
a yearning deep within
Our minds wax uninhibited 
through passions we convey
bodies in submission 
as desire takes it's prey

A moments time is all it takes
to kindle such a fire
slowly teasing, ever pleasing
licking flames still higher
Beyond control our wildfire
rages on its own
consuming flesh with fantasy
beyond the world that's known

The places that you take me
with the way you make me feel
Replete my souls affections
In this love we share, surreal.
Never have I known a dream
alluring me as much
as all the joy and ecstasy 
from pleasures of your touch

I know I was not the first
but plan to be the last
to share the love you long to give
and heal your painful past 
To know its me you're reaching for
conquers waning fears
ensuring love will last through time
and far beyond our years

Touching Touch to read you much...I enjoyed especially as meditation:In this love we share, surreal. I imagine a surrealism as landscape of your beautiful things: transfiguring people and things under the power of love. Remember the little branch of the lover shinning.
