you've touched me
in a way
that loves face
becomes my face
loves hands
becomes my hands
loves kiss
becomes my kiss
you've touched me
in a way
that the sun shines
with my eyes
the moon brightens
with my smile
the air becomes fresh
with my scent
and you breathe me in
because you cant live
without me
i want to touch you
in a way
that my body melds
into your frame
my words
becomes the peace
you desire
and my presence
is the joy you seek
i want to touch you
in a way that
my silence
feels like home
my eyes hold you
and tell you that
you are never alone
when you are with me
and when you think of me
as I am always thinking
of you
i want to touch you
in secret and
it shows on your countenance
because it is that spirit
that lives in me
for you
because this is the
simplicity that
love brings &
within it all
you have given it
to me
