Reach Out and Touch You
Might I just reach out and touch you my dear.
Would that you could reach for me too
And our arms would close the gaping span
Between our souls and our loves desire.
I hold you in my mind, in my heart, in my tears
I so long for your touch, the taste of your lips,
The sparkle in your eyes, the warmth of your body,
The fulfillment of your embrace.
Reach for me my dearest love and let me draw you near.
Though it's but our souls that span the chasm,
I feel your soft touch on my cheek
And feel your breath fall across my lips.
I am imprisoned in a world whose boundaries
Block my every advance. I am pushed back each time
And yet I push forward toward the wonder that
You and you alone can provide me.
Some day soon my love will crash upon the battlements
And bring them down around their ears.
The shards of their prison will be cast aside.
We will soon be together and begin our dance of love.
