Everyday Things

Even when we live with one another every day, we can forget to share the passion buried deep inside.

 

Everyday Things

 

I want you to reach out – touch me softly

demonstrate your desire to have me;

body and mind mesmerized by passion

you can’t control – it doesn’t have to be

all-consuming, forever and ever,

just for the instant, when you see me there

in front of you, doing everyday things.

 

I need you to show me – you can tell too –

if deep inside excitement simmers, hot

feelings you can acknowledge, once secret

and kept from me, ready now to explode.

Private thoughts don’t need to be so private,

we need only whisper them as lovers

exchanging hopes, dreams, passion, desire.
