The Battle

 I struggle with the instincts  
that come crashing in waves  
accelerated by the sight of you  
respite nowhere in sight  
 
Contemplating what is and  
what I want things to be  
human hunger a beast denied
grows more intense  
 
I aspire to the smooth touch  
of legs supreme  
eloquence beyond my mere words  
pointing to pure bliss  
 
Calm my natural longings  
I must in effort to acquire  
some position  
which take you beyond indifference  
 
The corridors of my mind  
projection in as much  
as I know not your position  
your disposition with my lusts  
 
A covid reality of frozen interaction  
springing forth what turns  
one person’s plight into
consensual intimacy
