All I Need
bittersweet tang consume me
lick deep and dark
taunt my helplessness
until I’m wound
a knot of frustration
hot
riled
buzzing
my ineffectual admirations
rousing secret salivations
.
but I stop not
.
heady longing slinks
into rewarding reveries
inspiring delicate daydreams
of persuasive possibilities
I welcome delicious delirium
oh, my love unrequited
give me distance
let me yearn from afar
my addictive little drug
imaginings of you
hot
riled
buzzing
are all I need
