I Want This Kiss
I want my lips to speak for me
This kiss, a taste of what's to be
A prelude of a lover's play
To tell you more than words can say
I want to melt your soul with this
To make you weak, in throes of bliss
I want your world to fall away
To feel you tremble in the sway
I want to make you crave for more
Of sweetness that you will adore
I want to make your will to bow
How ardently I want this now!
I see the longing in your eyes
A need you think you can disguise,
and so you dare not take a chance
Perhaps it's all just happenstance
I want this kiss, so I will be
The one to solve this mystery
Is what we feel, a love that's true?
I take a step closer to you
You look uncertain, timid, shy
With all I've shown, I wonder why
you do not know just how I feel
I need to make it very clear
My eyes search yours, I touch your face
I'm pulled into a strong embrace
Your lips come down in search of mine
The kiss? It is beyond sublime!
It's all I dreamt that it would be
You mean to claim your victory
No longer shy, you're in command
My hair clasped tightly in your hand
You won't let go, but hold me fast
Determined to erase the past
My beating heart cannot keep still
Of longed for kiss, we get our fill.
