So Close

Eyes so deep
as blue as the sea
the luring waves
unwittingly
invites me...
...to grasp, to behold
in infinite amazement
yet though so near,
although so close,
I can't
I simply couldn't

Lips so soft
like flower petals
as pink as roses
-freshly plucked roses,
tangy in smell.
Oh how I wish to kiss those lips
and cherish every sensation
yet though so near,
although so close
I can't
I simply couldn't.

You
simply breathtaking
and although I want to
touch and embrace thee
though so near
so close
I can't
I simply couldn't
Because
my love, my life
you're so near
yet so far.
