Needing and Wanting...and SettlingA Poem by Anarda NashaiI was inspired to write this poem more recently...after almost six years since writing my last poem. I'm sure it's pretty self-explanatory....ENJOY!What they want is a dent in their mattress for a steady keel while they are sleeping they want to struggle to figure out what's in the corner or on the surface of the other to be able to sniff past the listerine and to the marijuana laced breath of the other they will settle for foreign hands on their bodies for other impressions to interpret their wet or dry dreams they want to pose with another whose eye color is a better match for a their own up-do hair styles... they will need a human heart to explain to them their own hearts. What do I want? I want to live where I only need turtle necks...and red wine and straight lines I will need to walk with bare hills and not fret too much about the snow or water beneath them and If love so happens to find me in route I want to look at him and feel affection completely I will not be satisfied to delude any more or less than this for the well-planted waves of my great imagination ...because I no longer bleed or need to weave stairs of anecdotes for backyard grills or Christmas dinners I'll pass on short, tiara-crowned fantasies and illuminated, but still hidden promises I will only settle to look back at love and feel from it what I feel.
