Breath on Skin

For Patty - October 17, 2001

Take my hand, my only love
Mesh my fingers firmly amidst your own
Lead me beyond the veil of darkness
Let me bask, content, in your luminosity
Help chase away unrelenting fears
They poke and prod, then laugh and hide
Dry these acid tears with breath on skin
Pour your passion into my tortured heart
The world without you was cold and stark
A gypsy's vigil across a barren wasteland
Cries drowned out by spurious narcissism
A mannequin ignorant of his need for strings
Touch my spirit, my only love
Let me be my best for you, for us
Share your light as I grow mine
And drench your soul in my desire
Revel in the completeness of my love
Fear not time, nor place, nor circumstance
I'll be the fearless guardian of your spirit
And you'll ever feel my breath on skin
