honey glazed eyes
and careless fingers
you ask of me
and i rest
for how else will my body
will keep loving yours?

"only with your body?"
a tilt of your head
a kiss on your lips,
i say,
it's only the body that needs my rest
for my heart had found a way up your chest
and made a home with your soul
long before i could caress the line of your jaw
and darling, love never rests
because if it did,
would we be still here?
