Touch

So perfect the sky in your eyes,

I see the light in which life was made.

Torn down to become this before me,

heaven’s touch on your fingertips.

Slowly your arms envelope my being,

taking me to places never seen.

Warm heart of love to befall my way,

slipping deeper into your touch.

Making this night too discerning,

twinkle little star brightened hand.

Leaping out as one soul on fire,

lighting the way to your touch.

Touch me again under this shade,

skies of darkness clearing forever.

Wrestling with imperfection,

touching my face with your lips.

You reach out for my heart,

taking me into your hands.

Beaming life unwavering,

touch me tonight under the stars.
