I want to feel you
skin on skin
closer, I need you closer
rhythmic dance
soaring higher
eyes locked
take me where you go
entwined, entranced
irrevocably yours
Not all gifts come wrapped in glitter
Or arrive on predetermined holidays
Sometimes destiny unwraps
What apprehensive hearts are afraid to open
But when I look into your infinite eyes
And listen to the secrets that they tell me
Or feel the tenderness of your arms around me
Keeping me safe, making me trust
I know you are the gift I never knew I needed
But now cannot live without
Tender passion, erotic fantasy
If this is a dream, don't wake me
Without you my skin has no purpose
My lips stay hungry
I have found heaven and hell
And they are both in your arms
Sometimes there is not a defined place to exist
Where do you go when you have footprints on your heart
but there is no road to travel
So you close your eyes, make a wish and move forward
Secure in the knowledge wherever you land
You will forever have a friend
Shadows dance in the moonlight
I feel your eyes piercing my soul
even before I see them
Those eyes.....they spoke my name
louder than thunder
and when the stars again found their place in the sky
I knew my fingers had traced a memory
Indeliby etched by your embrace
There are certain moments suspended in time
perfect moments, when the world stood still
and all you could feel was the certainty of love
and the beating of two hearts
And when the world becomes too hard to bear
you pluck these treasures from your mind
and replay them over and over again
and smile with remembrance
that once there was a time in your life
when love conquered all
I reached over and touched your face
hoping to wipe away any trace of tears that remained
Instead my fingers stayed, running along the contours of your jaw
exploring hollows, tracing your lips
all the while whispering words only kindred souls can hear
My life is full of empty spaces
haunted by shadows
embraced by strangers
I wander without aim
looking for a place I know that exists
but I have never reached
I steal rides on the wings of others
and find that I have not moved forward at all
but left a path strewn with lost dreams
