Dreams Still...

She cooks, she cleans
suffers from degerative disease
plays chauffeur for the kids
some hers, some not
she's no soccer mom
though she has enough
for a whole damn team
the dutiful things expected
her sacrifices many

Yet at night, she still dreams
dreams of a love
so powerful, all consuming
passion that sizzles to the core
one that scorches blazing hot
a lust so deep, one that bonds
beyond all reason

When the ache of desire
is shared as one
where a look says it all
no words needed
the soul just knows
where need is sensed, hunger felt
and love is known
