	so close to you

	that my soul rises

	

	filling me

	with nervous dreams

	

	standing there

	in the crisp night

	

	wondering

	if you would see through the offer

	of a warming arm around you

	as my inmost yearning to touch

	

	offerring my fingers

	if not my lips

	and letting them dance

	across your palm

	tracing the lines

	that ensoul you
