I must want a kiss for all my trouble.
Can you save me from it all?
Can wonders ever drown
and can a moment fall?

I must need a hand for all my thoughts
Can you drive me from this land
Can wonders ever travel
can a moment be on demand?

I don't need permission for my words
don't need a pedastal of sand
rocks of solidity fill my gaze
where I will ever stand.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am strong enough to doubt you
strong enough to deny you your flogging
all heart enough to love something
that is total
that is sweet
and will never be wasted on haughty moments.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so.

Great poem, you've voiced the point really well; your flow and imagery is amazing . Yet there is so much sadness and desire behind this poem, I loved it, as with most of your work   .
