I WOULD TOUCH YOU

I would touch you

In loving ways,

Moving you from

Smile,

To sigh,

To gasp,

To moan,

To silent quivers

Of pleasure and ecstasy,

But first,

Before that could ever happen,

I would touch your heart,

With words of slow fire,

Burning,

Branding,

Your very being

With belief and trust.
