Deana Rode - (2003) Longing

I want to touch you
to feel your body between my fingers
and absorb you through my skin

I want to look into your eyes
to see the things you always hide
and lift your burdens onto my soul

I want to hold you close
to quietly listen to you sleep
and take away your secret fears

I want to kiss you
to breath your essence into me
and experience the paradise that is you.

Deana Rode
