Have I known you
for twenty minutes
For two days, or
For twenty years?
Perhaps time has stood still
As we shared our dreams
For you feel part of me
You have your home within me
I feel you as clearly
As the warmth of the sun on my back
Or the beat of my heart
The heart that races when I think of you
For you have been privy
To my inmost thoughts and desires
And I am an open book
In which you have written your stories
Enriching my soul
When I am stirred
No one but you can slake my passion
For your touch
The scrape of your nail
The mark of your teeth
All bring life
Fires my humanity
Into vibrant and radiant colour
