Obsession
Which torments us most; the heart, the spirit, or the flesh? I see you watching me and my breath catches I cannot breathe. I wonder what thoughts lie deep within your soul A flame fills my chest. An oppressive longing, choking out my thoughts, my breath, the very beating of my heart Would that you knew this ache that fills me. Would that you knew.... One touch would break my will in two One touch would make me fall from grace One touch and I'd belong to you. One touch My heart is crying to feel the beating of your own I dare not touch you; I fear to get too close this fragile line I walk upon a spider web of ice. If I stumble if I slip Who would save me from the fall? I toss I turn I wake to thoughts of you I yearn to feel your touch and try not to imagine.... One touch, light upon my face. One touch to stir the fire of my lips | One touch to melt away the ice One touch... Ohhhh... Release me! Turn your eyes away! Their quiet solitude and hidden longings feed the frenzied passions of my soul. I am driven from all sensibility my spirit tossed by seas of doubt and fear. I cannot comprehend this strange affair raging deep within. I ache to have you take me and hold me in your arms surrendering all I am unto your touch. One touch would break my will in two one touch would make me fall from grace one touch and I'd belong to you One touch I am lost unto myself bewildered and alone What strange conglomeration of emotion and of thoughts clamor deep inside the battle of my soul. I seek a single moment of solitude and peace To be rid this strange affliction this desire that is you. This blossoming rose of fire rages asphyxiating intoxicating driving me to my knees as I whisper my deepest longing.... One touch from you. -- LKMathis - 10/97 |
