Youth
We are young in body
       young in mind
   and young in spirit
                   yet
our new minds further comprehend
       the profundity of this old world
our young spirits roam free like
              wild mustangs
  For who so firm that cannot be seduced?
It started out with a kiss
 --how did it end up like this?
  it was only a kiss
Tangled up in each other, unwilling
                to let go
Our souls are connected and
         when you touch me,
I feel good in ways I can’t hide
Touch your lips to mine once more
     and intoxicate me with your
         poison kiss
Infect me with your love
   --a virus I can never
    recover from
It’s fatal
 --this just might be
  the end of me
yet I feel so much more alive
Your soul speaks to mine
    in the ancient language
      of love
I call to you, my love, and
 when you turn and smile
 and breathe my name, I feel
     relieved
  I can live again
our love is the secret song
       of revival
   And your name is the
         magic word
 I say it, over over again yet
   it still seems new to me
 A hushed whisper, those reverent words
  your hands under my dress,
   there is no time for words
        mi corazón
