I can't sleep nor can I concentrate
Since my skin is on fire, it is aflame
From the internal heat of my thoughts
And desire for your touch.
No pain can distract me from
Wanting you near
No sorrow of loss
No downpour of tears...
For I have your touch,
That sizzles and sends sparks
Across any distance that keeps
Us apart.
My heart is encased in an inferno
My brain is ready to dissolve
But your embrace can save me
From any conflagration,
From any force of nature
That is intent on destruction.
When you hold my right hand firmly
And steer me
Across the avenue,
Our feet pointing towards the boulevard
And our bodies and hearts
Forced to follow.
You place your cheek next to my ear
As you hum
Your favorite tune,
That is when I reach down deep
To find my desire
Larger than the moon.
That is when I feel the best,
As we both dance our way
Across the avenue.
