So many times I touched your hand, br As mornings woke and day broke in. br Long arms the tone of finest sand, br My fingers grazed the softest skin. br br So many times I heard your voice, br As midday sun rose high above. br To lie with you, I had no choice, br Seduced in full by words of love. br br So many times I watched your face, br As evenings faded into night. br And always I, entranced by grace, br Was moved to kiss your lips so bright. br br So many times I breathed your scent, br As midnight moon seeped through the veils. br The purest drug, my life is spent, br In a love with you that never fails. br br (2004) br - br www.charleswiles.
