I just want you to love me...

the way that Adam loved Eve
Like David loved Bathsheba
the way Nelson loved South Africa
enough to forfeit freedom
I need a...
devotion like
Jacob's....when he slaved to win his Rachel
and even when tricked and given Leah
he kept working for his true angel
I want your pulse to race at sight of me
your heart to increase its beating
your mouth to go dry and your palms to sweat
like men did in the presence of Nefertiti
I need thee
to love me
like
the Shulamite woman did Solomon
the way the Father loved His only Son
the way a thirsty soul loves water
the way daddy's love their only daughters
Love me so deeply
that it will consume me
drown me in its purity
blind me til I can't see
and I promise
I will love you in return
with a passion and fervor that hotly burns
I will love you like Angela Davis loved the revolution
love you as deeply as the Sphinx's convolution
Adore you the way that Cyrano De BerGerac adored Roxane
Care for you the way Mother Theresa revered her fellow man
You are my hero and my king
the love song I was born to sing
To you I give my mind, my soul, and my body freely
and all I need in return is just for you to love me.

I hope that a love like this still exists, as well... Still searching...
