Essence of Desire

Weep not for the passion

but for the love my heart consumes

 

Taste not my lips

but the desire upon my breath

 

Feel not the touch of my hands

but the beating of my heart against yours

 

See not my eyes

but deep within my soul

where the essence of my being

awaits your embrace

 

Ache not for my leaving

but for the loneliness felt

from being apart

 

Rejoice not for my return

but for the love I bring anew…
