Under Your Skin

Spilling through your window,

Through curtains swept aside,

Moonlight touched your face,

Starlight kissed your eyes,

Your tired voice told me,

Words you wanted to say,

You didn't say it straightforwardly,

I rejoiced in your delay,

Under your breath you spoke,

Almost a whisper of a wave,

Rushed my blood like a thousand tremor,

My heartbeat you've enslaved,

The minutes went by into hours,

The world was fast asleep,

Two of us alone existed,

Falling fast, falling deep....

In the deepest hours of the night,

It was time we ended our dance

I had become so lost within you,

Forever my soul you enchant

Spilling through your window,

Through curtains swept aside,

Moonlight touched your face, 

Starlight kissed your eyes...
