Soft As Petals Poem by Matthew Densley

What can it be, which bows my lip
Every time I see your face
Your beauty caused my heart to skip
And lose sight of its rhythmic pace

Maybe the answer's in your eyes
For mine cannot escape their gaze
I feel my mood begin to rise
My passion's fire, set ablaze

Your skin so fair I yearn to touch
As soft as petals on a rose
Desires overwhelm me such
To feel its warmth, the way it glows

Please let me feel your sweet embrace
Allow me just a single kiss
So I may bask in your soul's grace
And I can know the truest bliss
