Insatiable Longings

I long to be by your side To burn in the flame of love's fire Touch and feel your passion's fervour Supping it to my heart's desire I long to be by your side to feel your body's every breath and pulse peer into those dark pander eyes and jump into their depths on an impulse I long to be by your side To feel like a babe in its mother's arms To forget life's tumult and tussle Safely cocooned from all the storms I long to be by your side To bloom and blossom on your way Like a mist jewelled red, red rose Never to be cruelly plucked away I long to be by your side Like a crooning, brooding dove My body snuggled close to you To be lost in the sonata of love
