\n

Some side-wise\u00a0beauty flickers,<\/em>
\n Some “je ne sais-pas-quoi”.<\/em>
\n Like fool’s gold, a\u00a0glimmer,<\/em>
\n but the shine is faint and dull.<\/em><\/p>\n

And\u00a0then\u00a0my eyes catch\u00a0yours,<\/em>
\n and then\u00a0we’re face-to-face,<\/em>
\nand now we’re falling forward,<\/em>
\ndown into wordless\u00a0space.<\/em><\/p>\n

Always,\u00a0from head to toe,<\/em>
\n I’m\u00a0aching for your touch.<\/em>
\n Beyond the dream of us,<\/em>
\n there is nothing.<\/em><\/p>\n

All things we are we’ve made–<\/em>
\n together all there is.<\/em>
\n All that’s hers is his,<\/em>
\n and I’m\u00a0helpless.<\/em><\/p>\n

Others flit ’round me,<\/em>
\n like moths drawn to the flame,<\/em>
\n and they will all burn soon,<\/em>
\n but you’ll always remain.<\/em><\/p>\n

Always,\u00a0from head to toe,<\/em>
\n I’m\u00a0aching for your touch.<\/em>
\n Beyond the dream of us,<\/em>
\n there is nothing.<\/em><\/p>\n

Trembling beneath my hands,<\/em>
\n with\u00a0urgent burning want,<\/em>
\n I’m haunted by the terror,<\/em>
\n that you’ll be going away.<\/em><\/p>\n

Not one precious drop of you,<\/em>
\n would I\u00a0dare to waste.<\/em>
\n I\u00a0starve for just\u00a0a taste,<\/em>
\n and I love it.<\/em><\/p>\n

I am from head to toe,<\/em>
\n so aching for your touch.<\/em>
\n Beyond the dream of us,<\/em>
\n there is nothing.<\/em><\/p>\n

All things we are we’ve made–<\/em>
\n together all there is.<\/em>
\n All that’s hers is his,<\/em>
\n and I’m\u00a0helpless.<\/em><\/p>\n

Others flit ’round me,<\/em>
\n like moths drawn to the flame,<\/em>
\n and they will all burn soon,<\/em>
\n but you’ll\u00a0always remain.<\/em><\/p>\n

I am from head to toe,<\/em>
\n so aching for your touch.<\/em>
\n Beyond the dream of us,<\/em>
\n there is nothing.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I’ll be updating the lyrics sporadically, as the whim strikes me. \u00a0It seems each time I do, I wander further from the proper meter. \u00a0Do add your thoughts in the comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
