Utopia

Time like a donkey's burden,
Tolling on a ticking clock.
Longing for her, my Eden;
Sinking in a lonely shock.

Where are you, my companion?
I want your secret garden;
Let me ride on your pinion!
I've never been so certain,

I need to hold, lie, and hug
I need your touch, paradise
I need your kiss, snuggle bug
I need to drown in your eyes

Breathing your water, coursing
Trickling river, I drink
Makes me fly, eagle soaring
Can't say "I love you." I shrink.

Time like a weighty mountain
Forces me to rant and rave
Wanting to drink your fountain
Utopia, come to me, save

Author's Note

An older poem. I've grown a lot as a writer since.

[Krystal Waters]

Your poem spoke of the burden of love and the heartache but also of the greatness of being in love and being with that person. Gracefully put and well written.
