Untitled Poem

hands of an angel
i long to hold
only your fingertips
can warm my cold
'tis a tormented life...
these emotions to unfetter
with not your hand
my heart will shatter

skin of silk
i long to caress
in this world of anger
you calm my distress
so much to give
so much to gain
a lifetime together
would never bring pain

lips of velvet
i long to kiss
were i to release you
my life would be amiss
only forever
can my heart be true
on earth and in Heaven
this I promise to you

do you feel the same?
it may never be known
your world of silence
might never be shown
for now and for always
for you, I will be
simply listen to your heart
there I am waiting... for you
and for me
