SHE WALKS TENDER ON MY MIND

Who is this angel who awaits?



What does she see in me?

What great things have I done

to find favor from one who

lights up the sky with her smile?



I am just a simple man,

but she sees only the good

in these rough, calloused hands.

What could I have done to reach a heart

so pure and filled with beauty.



When I think of her beautiful body

I can barely take a breath.

The smell of her pure white skin

lying close to me

makes me tremble with delight.

The sight of her long silky hair

cascading down her bare shoulders

fills me with desire.



I long for the sound of her voice

whispering softly in my ear.

For the sound of her breathing

as she sleeps in my arms

after we make love.



When I look into her eyes, I see only the

love she feels for me, and I am

weakened at the thought of such

a wonderful love.



What is this fear and trembling

welling up inside me as

I come closer to her door?

The thought of her lips as they

come against mine at our meeting,

cause my heart to beat so fast

that my ears are filled with the

sound of blood pulsating

inside of me.



Alas, her gate I see.

As I ring the bell to her door

I know that soon our love will

fill the air like a warm, rushing wind.

The joy of our love will be fulfilled.
