day and night and day again 2014

 

it is not her lips or hips I crave

when I wake up sometimes in the dark

 nor the taste of her on my fingertips

 that I have plunged into her most sacred places

though in truth I still crave at all

like a starving man craves the memory

 of a long gone meal,

 painting her before me

 laying her out like a Thanksgiving dinner

 devouring her again and again

 though I still wake up hungry

 wake up wishing the wish in me was real

aching to taste it now as I did then

my fingers exploring the whole landscape

until I know every inch of it

 and tease myself with it

day and night and day again
