Him

 Once again as we touch I sigh,

 These poignant moments lift me - from

 This dusty life that humbles me.

  As I blush with anticipation

 Our embrace so fragile beguiles me,

 Keen tenderness haunts me,

 Aching limbs beg for strength -

 As I realize

 In forgetfulness, my fear does elude me.

 While you're not near

 Love with all its consuming power

 Neglects me.

 So come - bless me with your closeness

Ah! Such love burns me.
