Touching Your Soul

I treasure my time spent with you

each touch, each smile

each kiss of your scent

the moments never linger

quite long enough

Though they fashion for my eyes

the most beautiful image of you

as well they should

for you are so very beautiful

to me

so very ethereal

so perfect

I long to touch you

no

not like that

not sexually,

but deeper

I want to touch your very soul

caress it

to look into your eyes

true pools of light from heaven

I could drown within them

and die a happy man

I want to sit beside you

nearer than the wind

alone with you

in silence
