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

Dismiss the obvious

Couldn’t stop imagining

Your tender kiss, your subtle touch.

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

By those of like minds 

Like hearts and like souls 

Universal ties that bind.

And every day, in every way

On land and sea and shore

I felt you drawing me back to you

And these things, could not ignore.

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.

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.

Roles are played, stands are taken

With so much postering

Only to succumb to the lonely void

And to the pain within.

Your passion calls to me at night

Your soul cries out to me

And even if it were possible

From you, I can't be free.

And yours to me, your passion calls

In codes and other intangible ways

Separated now,  oh yes we are 

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.

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.
