NEED

            

What is happiness?

A brief kiss gives no

feelings in your heart

nor joy in your womb

Where is the passion?

of two lovers

clinging to each other

United soon.

Yesterday, before you came

I had gladness in my heart.

Full of zest, enjoying life.

Happy as a lark

Now my happiness is gone

from the moment that you came.

Fear and worry filled my soul

As before, All the same.

Will the moment ever come

when you take me to your chest?

With deep passion in your eyes

holding tight ad feel my breast.

Move your hands Upon my hip.

Make me feel my heart could burst.

Will the moment ever come

when you will quench my thirst?
