Kiss Like A Whisper​

I come home, worn out and weary,
In the late hours, of a savage night.
Caught the short end, of another too-long day.
Life dished out,
All that I care to fight.
 
Eyes are clouded, with surrender.
‘til an image, of you all in lace.
Flesh and blood Venus, standing before me,
Waiting to melt,
Into my starved embrace.

(My starved embrace...)

Fall like a feather.
Kiss like a whisper.
Touch like a breeze.
You're always there,
To heal me when the world,
Has knocked me to my knees.
 
Fingertip touch, finely delicate,
Sketch along, my neck and face,
Thoughts drift in, a quiet calm,
You’re the artist,
And I’m your canvas.
 
Breathing you in, all that I can,
There’s no place, that I’d rather be.
Side-by-side, as we have for years,
Exploring each other,
Like two carefree teens.
 
(Two carefree teens...)
 
Fall like a feather.
Kiss like a whisper.
Touch like a breeze.
You’re always there,
To lift me when the world,
Has dropped me to my knees.

Fall like a feather.
Kiss like a whisper.
Touch like a breeze.

You're in my dreams...
