If I could

By AllenTaylor

If I could taste your lips again
I promise myself to keep
The flavor of our forbidden sin
In my heart, within my reach
Walls were built to keep us here
Floors laid to bind
Laws of God instilling fear
Faithful fools we are, the blind leading the blind
If I could smell your skin once more
I promise myself to keep
The scent of your precious soul
Into my life it seeps
Day by day you infiltrate
My thoughts, my mood, my breath
Nothing oh nothing will seperate
Not life, not prayer, not death!
If I could hear your voice tonight
I promise myself to keep
To capture the sound of eternal life
In all you do when you're awake, and when you sleep
Night by night I wait to hear
You slumber, toss, and sigh
Not a sound you make will disappear
In my mind when morn draws nigh
If I could see your face today
I promise myself to keep
The picture of your smiling face
Which caused my world to see
You tidal wave of all that's divine
You hurricane of absolute grace
I'm drowning in your sea of time
Addicted to being lost in your time and space
If I could touch your body now
I promise myself for life
To protect you, my life is my vow
As you become my wife
Hour by hour I long for you
To stand before me
Open,naked, bare
Flowing inside each other
Floating
Like the air.
