The Skier
Take me to new peaks, lead me trembling by the hand
Tempt me to scale the steepest slopes, with rapid beating heart
Tell me to open wide my eyes and gasp in awestruck joy
And fill me with unchecked desire to reach the summit now
Hold me. Stop me falling. Keep me safe within your arms
Show me speed and balance, give me rhythym laced with charms
Make me ache with pleasure, let me scream in anguished bliss
Then leave me yearning, empty, with a single morning kiss.
