Close to You

I want to be close to you

in that place

where there is you and me

no other creature in land or sea.

Where we share that space within

not even a hairs breadth apart

and my soul dances to the beating of your heart.

that place where your mind slides into mine

and we step for that moment,

outside of time

Where I becomes us

and all I hear is

"Mine."

I want to be close

oh so close to you

that place into which I occasionally peek

before I close my eyes and retreat inside.

You make me nervous
and I flirt with this
on the edges of danger
knowing that you will not touch me in anger.

I want to be
close to you.
