Desire

Desire

 

To see is not to touch

a frustration too much

The love to reach out and feel

would make the heart reel

 

A burning fervent desire

from which I never tire

These thoughts forever with me

how else could they be

 

It occupies much of my time

in my head singing like a rhyme

I am forever on the look out

for those who may be about

 

A brief encounter occasionally given

does my desire readily enliven

Often furtive and in haste

such time never a waste

 

It is an inborn longing

an inner bell forever ringing

Without it life would be dull

with it I am an anxious bull

Absolutely brilliant Keith! I thought it was just me who wants to be 18 all the time. What you explain here is so true and a smile from someone in a certain way really cheers the soul. Many thanks for this I will keep it nearby, always to remind me that’s it’s not odd to be looking for smiles and glances to keep me alive! Keep up the great work here. Love it.
