alluring
recurring
thoughts unending
heart unbending
desiring you
powerful
graceful
life in a whirl
what a thrill
desires of you
if i could
but speak one word
to show my mind
simplicity
complexity
your soul beacons me
my mind weakens me
i know better
shallowness blowing
deep overflowing
emotional bliss
mental kiss
of life
yet death
my heart is torn
betwixt two worlds
my mind is trapped
nowhere to turn
my body aching
wracked in misery
my entire being
longing for you
but i know
i must not go
to that place
i cannot show
i am afraid
you could not see
would not understand
what i desire
as i aspire
to loving you
not your body
true beauty beheld
not your soul
a deep running well
not your heart
precious gold
too great to afford
for these are but
a part of the whole
portions, pieces
individually missives
it is not one
nor yet the sum
i try to find
words to grasp
like a fourier transform
they only mask
what i feel, think
for, of
you
you could never know the depth of my longing...
you could not possibly realize or begin to accept the passion that i feel searing, consuming...
commitment used to scare me, then i met you, yet i could never have you, so what do i do...?
you do not know
so i go
away
you must not know
so i hide
away
my love
never to see
the light of day....
