O que mais posso desejar Senão um beijo seu? Dele emana o calor me aquece O mel que me alimenta... Meu coração dispara!
Molhado ele se veste de paixão Deslumbrante ele se torna com o crepúsculo Prisioneiro se transforma ao nascer do dia Senhor absoluto de minh’alma aguerrida.
Da chama eterna, o beijo desperta...
Lábios se tocam em desenfreada loucura Línguas sem idiomas num total clima De amor e prazer se comunicam O êxtase se inicia... É o crepúsculo de um beijo!
