These eyes ... these eyes ... they exist only to gaze into yours and to take your presence in. My mouth ... my lips ... they exist only to kiss you and to taste the essence of your skin. These arms ... these arms ... their only purpose is to hold you close in comforting embrace. My hands ... my fingers ... their only purpose is to caress you and gently trace your face. This body ... this body ... it aches to lie next to yours entwined in never ending nights. My desire ... my passion ... they are consumed in need to take you to ecstasy's heights. These words ... this voice ... calling out your name as passions fires start to rise. My breath ... my breath ... now taken from me as I drown in the depths of your eyes. This heart ... this heart ... beats in time with the rhythm and cadence of you. This woman ... this woman ... completed by your touch and the loving things you do. Afterglow ... sweet afterglow ... lying beneath sheets entangled, hold me till morns light. Contentment ... complete contentment ... peace finally found in knowing quiet comfort is in sight. Janet Marie There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

Janet you covered all the reasons to exist for love tenderly and so completely...great lyrics here and I think Mark is right they could be put to work there's certainly a basis for song here. Just wonderful work Janet and I can feel the romantic word cocktails stirring and mixing with the incoming music from somewhere out of heaven......just listen....listen..... hear that....a melody creeping in...slowly, smoothly, exposing and engaging.....take care ..................ethome................... |
