so gently he touches me
with love and tenderness
he touches me

tenderly he touches my body
with each stroke of the rose
he breathes new life into my soul
he touches me

softly he traces my lips with his
with passion in his eyes
and longing
he touches me

he lays me down upon a blanket of roses
slowly he drops the velvet petals
one...by one
gently they dance upon my face
he touches me


his whispered words caress my soul
he has kissed the rose
he touches me
