I crave the warmth of sun rays

On my pink uncovered skin

I despair over the loss of someone dear

Forever vanished from my sight

I wear the sadness of regret

When reminiscing

I embrace the happiness of love

When it is in full bloom

I reject a longing for things

I do not have

I feel the erotic pain of a lover's bite

During a passion filled moment

I dream of voyages

To distant lands

I fear the failure

That might be just around the corner

I hold onto the success

That I have worked for

I cherish the warmth

Of human contact

I greet the stranger

With a warm hello

I am all of these.

They are life.
