Beyond most fervent caress Having held you Wanting to die in your embrace Death robbed of that fear Away so very far From those haunting battlefields Where I once lay So close to hell Dreaming now of heaven In your loving arms In your eyes Tears promising me paradise This lonely heart burns Just to touch you Sets my spirit aflame Uncontrolled is this desire Asking for your release Or begging to stay Standing here on knees Enraptured Copyright © 2014 Robert William Gruhn A.R.R.
