Love Poem: I Do Want

I Do Want

I do want you walking
in shadows of dreamed love,
leaving blood imprints
in the dark.

I do want you tearing
the fabric of my flesh,
dragging pallid nails
white and stark.

I do want you calling 
the syllables of my name,
piercing the drab contours
of my sleep.

I do want you licking
the bourbon of my tongue,
drinking my passion
wild and deep.

I do want you sucking
sweet marrow from my bones,
feeding the essence
of your pain .

I do want your madness,
beauty and despair,
I do want anything
that might remain.
