Deep

What do  you  see  when you  look  in  my  eyes? 
Do they  betray  my  overwhelming  love  for you? 
What do  you  see  when  I  am  all smiles? 
Does  it  paint  a ray  of sunshine  on  your  face? 

What do you feel  when  your head  rests  on  my  bare chest? 
Does  my  heartbeat  send  shivers  down  your spine? 
What do  you  feel  when  I  hold  you  tight  as we walk  abreast? 
Do you  feel  my  heat  running  through  you? 

What do  you  like  when  you  taste  my  lips? 
Does  my  lips  melt  your wall? 
What do  you  like  when  I  send  my  velvety  touch on  you? 
Does  it  rise  the hairs  on your skin?

What do  I  see  when  I  look  in  your  eyes? 
I  see  your soul  in  your almond  shaped eyes. 
What do  I  see  when your lips curve  in a perfect smile? 
The  world  is  a better place  when you  smile. 

What do  I  feel when your  head  rests  on  my chest? 
I  feel  the telepathic  connection  in  every heartbeat. 
What do  I  feel when you  hold  me  tight  in your arms? 
Amazing how time flies when I am in your arms.

What do  I  like  when  I  taste  your  strawberry lips? 
The  taste  awakens  my  soul  without  pause or doubt. 
What do  I  like  in  your  deep  hearty  touch? 
That  touch has  made  me  a  poet.
