~ DESIRE~ A Poem by Jenn Fraser

Desire

Both a blessing and a curse.

My heart, an empty vessel  of need, forever unfulfilled. 

Without, a barren wasteland of indifference.

I long to be drenched in the waters of my love, each undulating wave a caress upon my soul, 

each droplet a kiss beyond measure.

Though I go thirsty and parched in the light of day,

evening’s shroud, the sleep of dreams, brings you to me.

 I revel in that far off land, that paradise of ocean blue, till I wake… unappeased, alone.

In that moment, I am bereft.

A single tear slides down my face and I rise to greet the dawn.

 I have lost my soul to the night.

And am glad of it.
