Love Poem: Closer Than Bodies Can Touch

Closer Than Bodies Can Touch

Strong arms
softer than butter
melting through your honey skin
closer than bodies can touch
wrapping around your perfect heart
then diving in
to the pool of fire
quenched
by the ocean of love
that is you
abounding and astounding
and in your every move
I see a dance
beckoning me to step
into your life and stay
long enough to know
the eternity of love
that has always been
and will always be
anytime two hearts
like this
should dare to kiss
