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
