Late Night Wanting

You are the crystal goblet and the knife

Or whatever that one guy said

Look,

I'm

trying

to say

that I

love you

Or

trying to

describe

how

much

I

do

But it's pointless!

There aren't words that quite do it.

​

It's an ineffable feeling...

​

So, what am I doing here?

What is there, then, to accomplish?

What do I really want?

​

To tear your heart out;

Lay it bare with my words?

Leave you breathless from my eloquence?

Well...

Yeah!

Of course!

​

But more importantly

I think, I simply want to remember

Your tender touch

That longing in your eyes

The warmth of your body on mine

The ache in my heart

When I yearn for too much

(or is it too much)

To remember that

This love feels

Reckless

Wonderful

Frightening

Fucking awesome!

(eloquence has left the building)

And a host of other fun descriptors

(but who has time for all of them)

​

I want,

To immortalize that infinite moment

When our gazes lock.

To relive it

Whenever I read these words...

​

Yeah,

That's what I really want:

To be with you,

Whenever I desire
