I Want
Do you hear it?
Empty spaces
Urge without release
Eyes shining brightly, forward
The silence is deafening
I want
Can you feel it?
A hunger
Emotion without direction
Belief in the truth of love, not broken
The burden is heavy
I want
Do you understand?
The pain
Energy without focus
Hand me the words of your story
Truth is simplicity
I want
Can you feed it?
The animal
Burning without fire
A tender embrace in the light of morning
A dark peace
I want
Will you run or stay?
Heavy choices
Lust without restraint
Caressed by the power of the heart
Fear is nothing
I want

You have an amazing way with words and emotions...I absolutely felt and loved this and it reverberated when I read it, even after I finished rereading this the fourth time.

This is beautiful, TW; you always manage to say so much with so few words, very strong, very controlled, thrums with emotional tension, I love it.

TW,. . . . I must admit at first that after reading this poem several times, I found that I was left with a feeling of unease and disquiet. THe combination of the words and the scansion was somewhat disturding to me. I like the poem, don't get me wrong, but it conveyed such a sense of deep dischord that I picked it up . . . . . no offense, but that is how it affected me.

A little unease and disquiet can cleanse the system every now and again. No offense taken. :-)
