There is no object to be
craved.

Desire stands alone.

In thoughts...we strive for what is
absent from our grasp.

And yet my empty hands are filled
with pleasure.

When my thoughts hold only
you.

What a beautiful poem

Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent.

You say things so simply, and yet beautifully Eric.

Skill becomes ART when it appears to be effortless.

And this you do, m'friend.
