       so close to you

       that my soul rises



       filling me

       with nervous dreams



       standing there

       in the crisp night



       wondering

       if you would see through the offer

       of a warming arm around you

       as my inmost yearning to touch



       offerring my fingers

       if not my lips

       and letting them dance

       across your palm

       tracing the lines

       that ensoul you
