I Envy the Woman Whose Lips

i envy the woman whose lips your ample mouth has gently kissed whose very look enslaves your soul i ponder yet all i have missed i envy her still whose arms press you to her breasts so tenderly who shares your secret hopes and dreams and keeps your fire burning steadily i envy the woman whose bed your long lean body slumbers in forgive my heart's dear love desires that which others consider a sin i envy the woman i don't even know who possesses what i can only desire to be empowered by someone so fine i envy her body-her soul on fire
