The Beginning

Tears trickle down from clouds of emotion
In rivulets and rivers they run to the ocean
Passion and laughter, memories of devotion
I am here and will be here to stay
Wanting you, but you are so far away

Waking thoughts filter in through the haze of my dreams
Picture you and your warmth with me here in the seams
Of my life and the fabric of what each moment means
I can almost feel your touch
Wanting you so very terribly much

As I slide from the bed and pull the sheets off me
Your words fill my heart as I stumble for coffee
The taste of your lips like chocolate and toffee
I draw you near in my mind close to me
Wanting you, needing you, can’t you see?

          Oh, oh, life soars and it sings
          Comes crashing down harshly on so many dreams
          Like surf on the cliff, like floodwater streams
          These are words that I wrote for a song
          I’m off to fly, do you dare come along?

I think of your skin as I stand in the shower
Its sensual softness, evocative power
fecundate mountain of Venus’s flower
Hear me breathe so hoarse with desire
Wanting you, bring to me your loving fire

As I dress for this day, your green eyes beholding
My loneliness grows, my confidence folding
Enough hollow pain – enough character molding
I am lost, beyond the means of reprieve
Wanting you,  is there any hope to perceive?

Often time stands still while I wait for your presence
Seeking you and your smile like a sweet effervescence
An exotic perfume, a provocative essence
Please come near, here I want you to stay
Wanting you, but you are so far away.
