GBE2 Week #15: Longing

This is a poem I wrote a while ago:

I let it begin

Only to realize;

it isn't enough

I could have you in every way imaginable




Every night for the rest of my life

It wouldn't satisfy me.

I need the taste of you on my tongue

I need to explode all over yours



I need to control you

I need to submit to you



Too many thoughts in a day

Not enough chances to fulfill them.



In a sense, I am grateful to you.

You made me realize

I am still very much alive.

    Great poem. Sparse, not flowery, just good plain language that says exactly what it needs to. Love it.

    "I need to explode all over yours..."

    Pretty much my new pick up line. I'll totally quote you.
