Want

Want,

What is it?

To want?

A want?

Of want?

Want of Love?

Want of desire

Want of fire

Fire rolling on skin

Burn bold

Burn bright

Burn flesh

The melding 

of souls within,

skin-smooth

embrace

Hold me

Suc-tioned air

Sweat pouring want,

through flowing hair

Languishing

Gushing

Wanting,

to cry out

Want sweeps,

breathes,

in/out

of skin

Pores igniting

the air

Amber light,

night

falling

Dusk,

shadows

of lust

Reflections of soft giants

on white walls,

a world separate

from here somewhere,

separate from there

Shadow bunnies

from the past,

elusive moments

of want,

of care.
