Soul Kiss

by, Denise

Something in your presence

always fills me with desire;

As if every stolen moment

in meant to stoke a dying fire.

You're a mystery to me

that I don't care to discover;

Couldn't bear to see inside you,

afraid of what I would uncover.

Yet I'm haunted by a vision

and am caught withing your power;

I can't slow my growing want of you,

am tortured with each passing hour.

Something in you put a need in me

that burns right through my heart;

And I curse the unseen specter

that separates us, keeps us apart.

I have a dream that haunts my nights

It touches all my deepest fears;

We see each other, yet we pass by,

I wake up crying with no tears.

I can't bear to feel your touch,

I can't look into your eyes;

Yet your essence envelops me

As my consuming yearning intensifies.

I've never really been in love before

And now that I know what it truly means;

To love someone beyond control

Is to be haunted in my dreams.

I sometimes wish that I were made of stone

So I couldn't feel the wonder that is you;

My spirit rebels against what I was before

As I try to forget all the things I ever knew.

Your breath becomes my breath

and your blood runs through my veins;

You've wrapped you arms around my soul,

I'm weak and helpless from this pain.

I ache for you, my thirst unquenched

My heart lost in this abyss;

Yet I open my heart to you

And surrender to your soul kiss.
