So many times I touched your hand, <br />As mornings woke and day broke in. <br />Long arms the tone of finest sand, <br />My fingers grazed the softest skin. <br /> <br />So many times I heard your voice, <br />As midday sun rose high above. <br />To lie with you, I had no choice, <br />Seduced in full by words of love. <br /> <br />So many times I watched your face, <br />As evenings faded into night. <br />And always I, entranced by grace, <br />Was moved to kiss your lips so bright. <br /> <br />So many times I breathed your scent, <br />As midnight moon seeped through the veils. <br />The purest drug, my life is spent, <br />In a love with you that never fails. <br /> <br />(2004) <br />- <br />www.charleswiles.com<br /><br />Charles Wiles<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/so-many-times-best-love-poems/
