i
slipped and
fell so deep into your
eyes
and revelled in the
tempest of their
depths
enraptured by you, i
soliloquised
and scarcely noticed all the
tears i
wept
O, tears of joy! your faded countenance
epitome of all i once desired
i watch you move and tiny shadows dance
rekindling the ash of passion's fire
desirous of touch, with fingers bold
i reassure myself your flesh is real
staying chaste may seem so very cold
but i don't want to change the way we feel
tonight i'll wish upon the brightest star
that i can have you just the way you are
