Oh-- I Love Him



By Rae Rae Arango

OH---I love him...

...and when he looks at me
my body feels limp and my heart
feels heavy as it beats anxiously,
awaiting his touch upon my skin;

...and when he kisses me---
God,when he kisses me,life has no
end. I could live on the breath he,
alone, breathes;

...and when he makes love to me
I feel our two souls merging
together---defying all logic and
life. I live for him;

...and when he holds me
the end of the world could come and
I'd be content to leave it---so long
as he still held me. I love him.
