HUNGER

A Poem by ROBERT DAVIDSON

 

HUNGER

 

BY  ROBERT  DAVIDSON

 

 

I  die  disappointed 

I  want  her  - this  mad  desire

I  cannot  still  this  hunger  in  my  heart

 

Oh  God,  -  it  makes  me  crazy  wanting  her

Lying  in  wait  for  her

Longing  for  her  every  moment  of  the  day  and  night

 

Once  we  put  our  mouths  together

Each  tasting,  touching  -  but  bruising  the  other

For  love  stings  more  than  it  consoles

 

Somehow  the  unattainable  puts  a  stronger  accent  on  desire

Men  often  fancy  what  is  withheld  -

So  mad  this  craving

 

Like  a  famished  wolf  on  prey

I  could  rip  every  stitch  off  that  girl  -

Yet  I  would  give  my  soul  to  graft  my  heart  on  hers,

Go  the  full  mile,  enter  and  consume 

 

But  we  must  all  die  disappointed  of  something,  I  guess

Love’s  a  skeleton  from  which  we’ve  picked  the  flesh!

 

She’s  bit  me  to  the  bone.
