It’s a physical ache, this hunger One impossible to describe Longing for a life sustaining morsel To savor every given bite Oh, like oxygen your beauty is Feed me from the depths of you Save someone from a cruel fate And help the light shine through Maddening really, can’t shake the thought Of the intensity of this desire How lonely because no one else suffers This need to succumb to the fire Let me have but just a taste Even if it would kill not to have more Still I would relish the memory That my mouth had once explored |

You bring the tang of romance back to us in style.. even if it is lost... still, you hope for the find again. Well done, Poet. |

You know when I read the title it brought to my mind the great novel By Hamsun, and well, this was quite different, I dont think you should play with these themes in romantic guise if you dont personally know malnutrition, (Which can be an inspiring state) but usually turns pretty scary in thelong run. |

There are many different kinds of hunger...some nourish the spirit or mind, others the body...the hunger for a touch is certainly one of them. Thinking, as for myself, to be hungered for is very romantic. |

some hungers are insatiable and to be hungered for in this way is a blessing. Love your words here. |
