Hold me now, and don't hold back

Hold me now, and don’t hold back Before we get off-track again It’s time to win us both a night Of love before the morning light Don’t call it lust, don’t call it sin For I adore you so, my dove Ecstasy will visit us In beauty, as was meant to be  “Oh, is it she?” no more I’ll ask to bask within your sun I’d be twice lucky; and if I should lust after your moon as well No, don’t deny me the sweet somethings I would tell! Simply to feel at ease with you Is all I’d really like to do The rest would come with time, come peeling Everything back: and thus revealing Every daydream not oppressed, I softly unbutton the dress No secrets now concealing Every fingertip will trace All the loneliness erased, and every feeling Sends me reeling – so entranced! – within your taste When we have danced for love and longing And it doesn’t come as wronging, Ah! My happiness should never know a ceiling. Mark Burton Tuesday, September 27, 2005, 12:30 A.M.
