TOUCH ME

When paltry words fail to convey
Emotion churning in my heart
When glistening teardrops ripe to spill
Fill my eyes when we must part ... touch me

Yes, touch me love and hold me close
Lend me strength to carry on
Independent in my world
Self assured when thou art gone ... touch me

For every kindly spoken word
For every sweet and tender kiss
I've died a thousand deaths, my love
I've serached in vain long years for this ...touch me

Come, touch me love, with tenderness
Thy fingers gentle on my flesh
And fan the flame of passion bright
Until our minds and bodies mesh ...touch me

And when tomorrow's dawn arrives
And I awaken in thy bed
Enveloped in the scent of thee
Sweet memories floating in my head ...touch me

Oh touch me with affection,love
Or art thou now quite done with me?
Wilt thou seek out another's arms
And fill her nights with ecstasy?

Pray, touch me with compassion then
Speak not a word and I'll be strong
Just, touch me, ere I take my leave
I knew the answer all along...
