My Words Embrace

come close to me hear my thoughts feel my words
let them create the mood for our encounter
shall we be friends lovers of the word or strangers
let my words embrace you fill your every need

i sense you needs feel your loneliness your emptiness
take my words to fill you ease your pain give you comfort
let the emptiness evaporate create the world you want
let my words embrace you fill your every need

as our words intermingle feel their gentle caresses
allow them to soothe your weary mind and soul
ease the pain and anguish you may suffer
let my words embrace you fill your every need

once our minds are sated and the glow once more shines
i will feel satisfied that our encounter was worthwhile
that we both parted with contentment at our sharing
let my words embrace you fill your every need
