Love Poem: Touched

Touched

A foreign language of touch lingers 
upon every brush and every finger 
soft scrolls of wonder gently lain 
caressing visions and erasing pain

Whisp the winds as the candle burns 
Every inch she rests as her body yearns 

I kneel down at her alter and prey 
mounds arising from the East and the West 
a nocturnal migration of supreme surrender 
to dwell in such peaks of wealth I behest 

Eyes lock as a wanted hunger still grows 
nailed to her body with every movement chose 
words unspoken in long rolled tongues 
the hours suffer and I become undone 

Rivers rush deep in a valley lain low 
A love, a touch, a need   bestowed
