Youth
We are young in body
young in mind
and young in spirit
yet
our new minds further comprehend
the profundity of this old world
our young spirits roam free like
wild mustangs
For who so firm that cannot be seduced?
It started out with a kiss
--how did it end up like this?
it was only a kiss
Tangled up in each other, unwilling
to let go
Our souls are connected and
when you touch me,
I feel good in ways I can’t hide
Touch your lips to mine once more
and intoxicate me with your
poison kiss
Infect me with your love
--a virus I can never
recover from
It’s fatal
--this just might be
the end of me
yet I feel so much more alive
Your soul speaks to mine
in the ancient language
of love
I call to you, my love, and
when you turn and smile
and breathe my name, I feel
relieved
I can live again
our love is the secret song
of revival
And your name is the
magic word
I say it, over over again yet
it still seems new to me
A hushed whisper, those reverent words
your hands under my dress,
there is no time for words
mi corazón
