one

one -
kiss and then i shall leave,
for you, my darling, have my heart
a single kiss, two mouths meet
lips that stretch and strain to touch

one -
touch and then i shall leave,
for you, my darling, i long to hold
a single embrace, my arms ache
hands that stroke and touch

one -
sigh and then i shall leave,
for you, my darling, i long to hear
a whisper, a moan, a breathy shudder
ears that long to hear your voice

one -
night and then i shall leave,
for you, my darling, i long to see
in my arms, bodies entwined, love's delight
pleasure i long to give

one -
lifetime and then i shall leave,
for you, my darling, have my heart
at first sight, at first touch,
i was yours and you became mine
