With love in one eye,
my heart freezes when I look at you.
With desire in the other,
my body melts when I look at you.
Pressing your lips against my ear,
if you whisper what you desire,
with the rain of your gaze,
as you drizzle across my chest...
Will I get drenched in fire?
Will I burn in your embrace?
Will I spread my wings,
to make love in that sky?
A brush of skin is the gift of bodies,
as your finger touches, my clothes slip away.
This night is a stage of longing,
for you and me to burn upon.
Crawling down the middle of my back,
where is your finger wandering?
In your journey, I lost myself,
and now I am searching for myself.
The footsteps of your lips,
as you leave them on my body,
I try to follow their trail,
but it ends right at my heart.
Will I get drenched in fire?
Will I burn in your embrace?
Will I spread my wings,
to make love in that sky?
Like honey falling into milk,
like sound drifting on the breeze,
like color dissolving in water,
fall right into me.
How long can I bear this ache?
If I question your manhood,
you are ready to give the answer—
what will become of me if you do?
A brush of skin is the gift of bodies,
as your finger touches, my clothes slip away.
This night is a stage of longing,
for you and me to burn upon.
With love in one eye,
my heart freezes when I look at you.
With desire in the other,
my body melts when I look at you.
Pressing your lips against my ear,
if you whisper what you desire,
with the rain of your gaze,
as you drizzle across my chest...
