Desire

I've loved this boy ever since we were kids, but he will never know how I truly feel.

Desire

To endure the sensation of your soft lips’ dancing with mine is my only aspiration

I fancy your warm caressing touch tracing circles on my shoulder

And your loving deep whisper that lullabies me to sleep

Oh those profound brown eyes

How do I get lost in your maze so small?

 And those steady arms

Where do I find comfort without them enclosed around me?

I render you in a foolish fantasy of mine

Where I make you laugh…

And where I make you cry

But most of all where I make you love with a love you never fathomed existed

And where I love you with every mile of my heart, body, and soul

You will never apprehend in a lifetime the extent of my love for you

I will never release the fiery passion I mask rooted inside

I am not one to open my mind and display my devotion

But how I would pray to show you my care

this line is particularly intriguing to me:
"How do I get lost in your maze so small? " and
"You will never apprehend in a lifetime the extent of my love for you"
your word choices are very enticing .. Desire is a perfect title says i! and your poem is at once a dream, a reality, and a lost devotion .. so unique to our teenage years .. well done says i .. and write on!

This poem... I like it, I love it. I... I'm really at a lost for words to describe the beauty and, and all the feelings this poem brings me. I really like it. You should show me the workings of writing poetry sometime.

This is so REAL. You did an amazing job with it.
This is how I feel about someone. I never told him.
You reached me!
I could never have written it.
Great Job!

Unrequited love.....such a shame. Obviously you have very strong feelings for him. Truly you should let the man know. Who knows? Perhaps he is hiding his feelings from you too! Beautifully written..heartfelt. Lydi**
