When You Touch Me
You touch me
And the world around us
Quickly blurs
All the sounds are quieted
Except the beating of our hearts
And the only thing I'm conscious of
Is the warmth of your hand
Wherever you have placed it
I know what it is to lose control
To toss out rules and regulations
To forget everything
Except a touch
And when you touch me
To caress or hold
Heavens' light
Dims a little
And the stars seem to dull
And the full moon
Seems not majestic
As it had
Moments before
When you lay your hands upon me
When you hold your hand in mine
Or even when you gently brush
Your hand across my cheek
It is as I have said
Your touch changes my world
In that changed world
There is only you and me...
