I want to touch you <br />to feel your body between my fingers <br />and absorb you through my skin <br /> <br />I want to look into your eyes <br />to see the things you always hide <br />and lift your burdens onto my soul <br /> <br />I want to hold you close <br />to quietly listen to you sleep <br />and take away your secret fears <br /> <br />I want to kiss you <br />to breath your essence into me <br />and experience the paradise that is you.<br /><br />Deana Rode<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/2003-longing/
