Give me your hand, my love, And I will place a kiss upon the palm, Folding your fingers round to seal it tight; Then when the shadows gather round your bed, And faceless fears invade your calm You may unwrap my kiss for comfort in the night. Give me your lips, my love, And I will breathe a dream into your heart. Pressing you close to warm it on its way, Then when your sweet ideals are swept aside And disillusion plays its part You may unfold my dream to guide you through the day. Give me your body, my love, And I will pledge my passion to your soul, Weaving the ties that will not break or fray. Then when the world has wearied of its race And stars and moon spin out of sight, We will hold heaven from the grasp of time And love in endless flight. Author Unknown |
