Wanting

I want you

I dare not say it

So deeply and passionately

From behind all of these complex

Heavily fortified

Barricades

And if springs blush now reveals to me

The rush of feeling that occurs

When ever your soul draws close to mine

The rising tide may remain quiet

Within the hidden depths of my soul

Until life shows me a path to open

A place for all of my imprisoned feelings to go

There will be no denying this hunger

Then

Even if for now I lie to myself

And hold it them all in check

My secret will then remain

Locked up

Like a sleeping serpent

Coiled

Into endless loops

Of repeating figures of eight

Until life’s surging lava spring

Emits the healing force

That urges our frozen rivers

To unthaw and coalesce

Into a fevered embrace

Of passion

Channelling

Exquisite flows of tenderness
