Touch of Love

It was just past yesterday,
When the waves hit the rock.
As I took a sniff off the bay,
I watched as they landed on the dock.

My mind wondered back to the time,
When my love came down to town.
I could but notice the dime,
Of a love borne of fair crown.

They say love comes and goes in a moon,
But this is not what will fade at all.
I watched her as she slept till noon,
The soles of her feet touching mine to call.

The weight of her head felt as light as feather.
Her fair face was covered with rays of sun.
My hunger for her frame was not the weather.
Not anyone would reach the dame for fun,

Her light not dimmed for any reason whatsoever.
On her glittering face, I gazed upon all night,
My face breaking into smiles, as I drifted over.
Even when the stars are not right,

This love will forever be at last.
What to learn from that which keeps you sane.
The crave for her smooth skin, on my lips past,
My heart beat loud, I could hear the drum wane.

I laughed softly knowing she could hear it.
O love, what have you done to me?
To have this feeling for one person to fit,
Even in your deepest sleep will they be.

When awake, they consume your every moment.
I could hear my hands shaking to the bone,
As I raised them to anticipate her comment.
Gently tapping, she woke, her beauty rest done. 

She turned large eyes over to mine,
My heart was churning up inside.
I took her dainty hands up in mine,
Kissed them with the love I felt inside.

O how sweet they felt on my mouth.
She had a crooked smile on her face with love.
That peace of knowing that it would mount.
Loving someone, having them return that love;

Never was there a word that could describe,
This feeling of ethereal pleasure of desire,
Coursing through my body as a whole tribe;
Knowing I wasn't alone in this ring of fire.

I was jolted back from my daydream,
As I felt the cold rush of water from the ocean.
I smiled and screeched out a scream;
I can't wait for her to be my forever emotion.
