"The Longing"

There is no escaping the inner desire, the need or
the wanting of your touch, simple yet complex in its construction.

Under the sun and moon I imagine no experience greater
than the genesis of an undeniable surge inside my body
that only ignites with your touch.

In a quandary, I contemplate the simplicity of such desire married to
the complexity of my human heart; and asking silently becomes inevitable:

“Is your touch essential to my biological being or is my heart the culprit
of impending emotional death should your touch not be present?”

“Is survival possible in a vacuum where only I reside with my desires?”

I shall pray this question never need true utterance.
And in this moment, I bathe myself in daydreams of longing for your touch.
