when time stands still

I'd climb right into the dark night
And steal the brightest star
In order to offer you something so bright
To remind you just who you are
to my heart.
I'd try to lasso the moon
And save up all its beams
And you may wonder that I've lost my mind
But remember that is just how it seems
Cause I love you.
And if you offer the almond oil
I will rub my own hands to create the heat
before I reach for your pale beautiful skin
which i will caress and massage and gently rub
over and under and up and down
and around
again and again
until I hear that small contented moan
or is that a whimper of desire?
Because then,
at that very moment,
at that very instant in the universe
I will start over
With heated lips
and searing tongue
that will make love to you in a slow sweet tango
in ways you have only felt in your fantasies
releasing feeling you only thought you had felt before
but this time I will show you the truth
as I make time stand still
and I give you that star
and moon
but they pale in the explosion of light
of our love
fullfilled
standing still in a moment of time.
