A Collaboration of Need and Desire

A Collaboration Of Need and Desire

I tried to ignore you

But it was a hopeless ploy

I saw the boy inside the man

And the man inside the boy.

I too tried to ignore you

To dismiss the obvious

But I couldn’t stop imagining

Your touch, your tender kiss.

I saw the way you looked at things

Like only a poet could

I saw the way you felt about things

Like only a real man would.

The uncanniness of expression

Alone possessed by those of like minds

Like hearts, like needs and yes, like souls 

Those universal ties that bind.

But roles were played, stands were taken

With so much postering

Only to surrender to the lonely void

Succumbing to the pain within.

Oh so much is said in silence

Much more than when we speak

Yet my ability to sense who you are

Is at it’s euphoric peak.

And your passion calls to me at night

Your soul cries out to me

And even if it were possible

From you I can never be free.

And yours to me, your passion calls

In codes and other subtle ways

Separated now, we have long been

But the desire, it never fades.

And though I try with all my might

As I've done in love before

            To run from love with it's pain and glory, 

It's your love I can't ignore.

I tried. I tried. I really tried

To forget I'd seen your face

But you left a mark upon my heart 

That can never be erased.

So much has been shared between us 

Memories that can't be put to death

Like a lion my love chases your love down

And I'll love you still with my last breath.
