Long for Me

Folder: 
30. XXX (07.24.20)

 

Does it fever your mind to think of me,

To imagine where my lips have been tonight?

Do you gasp to recall the ecstasy,

How my lightest touch would whet your appetite?

 

You could have tasted all the glory

But trapped yourself in purgatory.

 

You said, “I can’t leave now, gotta think of my kids.”

They can vote. Are you staying for them still?

If I’m the fantasy reality forbids

Then I’ll bend to another lover’s will.

 

You can’t blame me for what isn’t right

As the sun sets on this summer night.

 

In time rain will turn dirt into mud,

The dam fit to burst from the tears,

All the fire put out by the flood

Of passion pent up through the years.

 

I was naked, quivering, craving your gaze…

May the memory last the rest of your days.

 

And each time you dwell on the wonder of my kiss,

How it came to know every inch of you,

You’ll retch with regret, contemplating all you miss

But can never again hurry home to.

 

As I and strong, handsome healing sail out to sea

You’ll be landlocked and lovelorn as you long for me.
