The Longing of the Heart

We talk about it regularly
Our plan to get together, to be together
But that’s all it is, some sort of future event
That never quite seems to take place

This yearning is my constant companion
This hell-bent desire for your presence
I want you so bad
I swear I can taste you in my mouth

My heart just can’t take it
Removing what is vital
Can kill a man
Pushing him right over the edge

We were supposed to be together by now
Face to face, mouth to mouth
Hip to hip and then later
Enjoy some other erotic connections as well

But alas there you are
And here I am
Not soon will the two of us meet
And I feel like I’m dying a slow, painful death

While supremely impassioned, for us it is definitely more than just physical
Though I hunger to look directly into your eyes
To take hold of your hand, to wrap my arms around you
My desire for you is beyond mere touch

I need to take in your fragrance, to fill my nostrils with your sweet aroma
To hear both your heartbeat and your laughter
To watch you walk down the street
And marvel at your beauty and grace as you interact with others

You are the sweet one
The one who is admired and secretly lusted after
By everyone who knows you
You make the dreamer’s dreams wet

I am obliged to drink in your entire essence
Who you are, what you do
Why there is a smile on your face
I’m missing you beyond belief
Yes this desire, this thirst, this longing
Is growing with each new passing day
I will have you soon
I will not be denied
