Poetry: Longing

by Jennifer Aderhold

Created on: May 23, 2008

STEAM

I watched for months
Lurking in the shadows

As the adoration grew
I knew I had to have you
Would have you

It's time
Be bold
Make the move
Be willing to pay the price.

Now committed
You come to me
We join together
Move in perfect harmony
Back and forth, back and forth

Steam rises between us
I push you
Refusing to let go

Spent
You are empty
Yet leave me clean, fresh

We part
But our affair is never ending

Because I know
When the filth of life surrounds me
You'll be back
To wash it away

Whoosh..
