Preface – Whether you think this is good or bad I wrote this in the early 90’s (probably 1992). If anyone else tells you they wrote it, they are a liar. I look at it now and see that it has potential (if you don’t mind the drift and the abrupt ending). This now looks to me like 2 or three poems, but at the time …<\/p>\n
I drink of her love as a man that has walked through a desert drinks of water
\nIt would not matter if it were bitter
\nTo him it would tasted sweet
\nIt would not matter that his sunburned and wind-cracked lips did sting
\nIt would still be pleasing to the touch
\nIt would not matter that the hunger of a wild beast gnawed at his belly
\nHe would thirst more
\nI thirst more<\/p>\n
In the journey of your soul
\nI look back when I reach your heart
\nTo see my footsteps in the sand that stretch on forever
\nI see the mountains of anger that I have crossed over
\nAnd think of the valleys of jealousy
\nAnd fields of indifference I walked through
\nI still thirst from the desert of your pride
\nAnd am wet from the rainclouds of your emotion
\nIt has been a long walk
\nI am glad to be home<\/p>\n
I think of my love and I realize I love her
\nI see my love and my heart races
\nWe move toward each other
\nAnd as we meet
\nMy body cries out because it has been too long
\nHer skin is soft and it responds to my touch
\nMy mind is overcome be a tidal wave of passion
\nI am consumed
\nWhen our dance is done
\nI think of my love and I realize that I love her<\/p>\n
When I look into your eyes, my heart pounds like horse drawn chariots
\nI envision them to be similar to the great races they had at the coliseum (in the Roman era)
\nHorses running with nostrils flared, eyes wild with untamed fury
\nMen steering their paths lest they turn to face each other to fight as stallions do in the wild
\nTheir magnificent figures full of strength and stamina
\nPulling, straining, running as fast as their bodies will take them, around and around the track
\nFurious, wild beasts in the heat of the race
\nTame, meek and mild pets, seeking care and tenderness when the race is done<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
