Hunger
Hunger
What is this abstract force
that after so many years
has woven us together in time?
I know nothing of you
except somethings are inevitable
and cravings are not controllable.
This moment where I stand
I have nothing to gain,
nothing to lose.
( I am dark, I seduce then I let go)
Is this what you want?
We will be at each other’s mercy
the more we eat from one another
the greater our hunger will grow.
We will never appease this lust,
and afterward it will seem distorted:
Call it destiny or consequence
but it will be our primal instincts that ride us.
Saddled by sensuality
the animals run
into the darkened hills ____
It is no small thing
to fall in love with a seductress.
I come to you in your dreams
far from my angelic roots
to take you into my realm ____
the wet, the salt and the deep.
You lie under me
as we move into the dream
mind sliding against mind.
Then it is hard to know where
we end and where we began.
Me within your stone____
you within my bronze.
At some point
we will both grow impatient,
reality will not claim our dreams
and beneath the morning sun
we will fade away
from one another.
( It will end abruptly )
To need one another
is where we disappear.
Between this hunger
and desire
my heart is empty.
