by M. Douglas Hoss
What voice have I to set your heart,
Embraced by Dream’s desire,
With breath and breast deliciously
Ablaze by Longing’s fire?
What touch have I to bring you warmth
And much desired peace
Which takes Love’s madness from your soul
Where Longing has its lease?
How delicate your kiss must beat
Its moment moistly magic
From Passion’s sacred luscious place
Apart from all so tragic.
What chance have I to have your love
Amidst your wondrous spirit?
What will it take to make you mine
And keep me ever near it?
