Breathless

 

Shaking as I write, I'm breathless
Feelings I find impossible to express
Gentle one  so alive and graceful
Your voice does my soul undress

When I wake tomorrow morning
Will you still be here with me 

Will you hold my heart this tenderly
Will your touch keep me this free

I dread the thought you may be gone 
I fear the loss of your sweet song
I run away in trembling fear
You pull me back, you hold me near  

I taste you with each breath I take
I feel your truth beyond mistake  
Passion rich and passion wild  

Engulfs my bliss, enshrouds my smile 
I feel your love like needles prick
And penetrates my soul so thick 

I start to die inside from pain 
Of hidden passion's final drain 
I am breathlessly near you
