Love Poem: Wanting

Wanting

you want more
yet you hide in seclusion
afraid of extending
your heart
your hand
yet she touches you deep
feeling as if you knew her forever
her hand on your arm
burning a tattoo
no one can see
she emboldens
your imagery
setting your soul free
you can hear
her whisper in your ear
her hot breath
sends your pulse racing
tossing and turning in your sleep
she haunts your dreams
making you wish
you could hold her again
be a willing victim
to her whims
smell her hair
bask in her smile
get lost in the depth of her eyes
taste her molten sweet kisses
yet when you awake
you push her aside
ignore her smile
deny whats hidden deep inside
buried within
hollow transparent lies
you tell yourself
out of fear
of losing yourself
deep in her eyes  (C)mjr
