The Reason I Was Born...

My soul, during it's creation
was kept from becoming whole

My fingers, while forming
were graced with a certain ...
touch

My lips, were given a softness
meant only for one

My eyes, sprinkled with emerald
stars...for all of your wishes

My tongue, given a map
of the paths it would trace

My hands, molded to form
within their twin

My heart, every other beat
kept for the eternal mate

My body, created only to
meld with true passion

And I...
   I was born
to touch you.

Allow me to pay you a high compliment---I wish I had written this!!!

over the rain-green grass,
and the sun drips honey.""

Snow,
I haven't read your work before, (that I remember)but I'm sorry I've missed out if others are as good as this. It's brilliant in its simplicity. I loved it.
Be well

This was lovely and the thought of that being the reason you were born, well spendid is putting it mildly.   Anyway, welcome to Passions and I hope to see more of you.  I loved you home page btw.  Way cool and probably one of the most intricate ones I have been to.

You must truly love your soul-mate, as I do mine.  I am inspired by the way you put this.  To love, to comfort, to share - what could be more fulfilling on this earth?!
