LOVER'S TOUCH


I would want you to touch me like you were going away
I would want you to touch me as if there were no days
I would want you to touch me as if you were blind
I would want you to touch me as if your hands were healing
I would want you to touch me with all of your feelings
I would want you to touch me as light as a feather
I would want you to touch me when a storm I must weather
I would want you to touch me as a paintbrush stroke
I would want you to touch me as the warmth of the sun soak
I would want you to touch me as if I were a sacred gem
I would want you to touch me as gentle as a flower stem
I would want you to touch me as a potter's hands
I would want you to touch me as together we stand
I would want you to touch me as if I were fire
I would want you to touch me as if I were the only one you...DESIRE
