    19th Feb 2004   [poetry](https://stevenjaycohen.com/tag:poetry#body-wrapper)  

so close to you that my soul rises

filling me with nervous dreams

standing there in the crisp night

wondering if you would see through the offer of a warming arm around you as my inmost yearning to touch

offerring my fingers if not my lips and letting them dance across your palm tracing the lines that ensoul you
