Image for the poem Desire grows, love follows

Desire grows, love follows

My desire grows    
Love following  
Close behind  
Running door to door  
In the sun  
Of bright yellow  
Under the pale moon
Searched every
Nook and cranny  
For the one  
To treasure my    
Fragrant burnt offerings  
Filling flared nostrils  
Visions of faded beauty    
Flooding senses  
Sensual images  
Passionate kisses  
Long hugs  
Playing in your head    
Playing in your loins  
Barely clinging    
To hope, anxious    
Prostate begging  
My Imaginary Genie  
To grant me wishes  
Granting me
...YOU
Time racing  
Finish line in site
Is just beginning  
For you and I  
Blink an eye  
A day, a week, a year flees  
Second-by-second  
Minute-by-minute    
You said,  
"you're hurting  
And you're  
important to me"  
Tears sting my eyes  
Reading over again    
Your concern  
Your caring helping    
Me feel whole  
Body, mind, being  
Wants to be filled  
With you  
Wants to merge  
With you  
All that has  
Gone before  
Are profound  
Stepping stones  
Leading to you  
Leading to us  
Enhancing each other    
Causing each to grow  
My Imaginary Genie  
Granted three wishes  
Two are ours  
Creating our own  
Perseverance    
Took us deep  
At a crossroads    
Choosing the road  
Traveled least  
My deepest desire  
Of being whole  
Of breathing you in  
Of breathing you out  
Holding you    
Close to me

Author's Note
Struggling with love how it fits with my sexuality has been my nemesis. It has caused much pain. Choices made in love, choices made in lust are profound lessons burned into my psyche. I call them profound stepping stones. Hope you enjoy my insight.
