lyrics

She traces stars within my skin, stirring stars inside my skin she stirs with love and cinnamon. She heals with love’s best medicine by finding stars within my skin.

I’ve been smiling at the memory, her hands a silent melody of muted Angels poised so readily above the burning skin.
To sing, to sigh, to moan, to cry, a muted chorus of Elysian melodies, of sweet ethereal melodies that hum within my skin.

Touched like this before my heart cannot recall, yet my soul so gently falls back beneath the furrows of my skin. Once dancing I recall from out my body furthermore, my soul dancing like no other dance that’d been danced before, a dancing soul forevermore from her touch upon my skin.

O what a curious sensation, this pleasure found with no cessation, a dizzying torrent of pure elation, quit not your amorous rotations of fingertips upon my skin. A frenzy of exultations she commands with soft vibrations that induce a meditation from her touch, ah! from her vivifying touch upon my skin.

What starts as something physical, transcends to immaterial. Eternity belongs to all things beautiful, beautiful like her whose fingers forever dance upon my skin!

Love incorporeal, what I feel is all too real, my heart inconsolable in the absence of your skin. In the absence of your words and your heart and your soul, in the absence of your presence, the impressions of your essence, of your hand, your sweet celestial hand, that I forever long upon my skin.
