Challenge
Write a short piece of any genre that shows the difference between want and need.
Interchangeable
Identical twins – both want and need
a five minute slow dance in the rain
sheltered whispers with lingering eyes
moon reflection bathing naked skin
blood speaking to bones in raging fire
intoxicating words cavorting on heart beats
tongue carving expanses of bodies in desire
embraced in the sanctuary of diamond dreams
intertwining puzzles of dragon dust wind
silent words from voice of soulful eyes
lovers’ heat unleashing ripples of enticement
a nirvanic utopia of liquid, beseeching pith
I want you, I need you, compressed together
like the saucy wink of a butterfly’s wings.
