Childish Ambition

I want you
I want your hands on top of mine
I want you
I want our fingers intertwined
I want you
I want the scent you breathe out into hot air
I want you
I want this midnight lust affair

To desire is to trust
The disease that thrills us
To embrace your every fear
The urge that pulls you near

I want you
I want your skin on my skin
I want you
I want to feel you from within
I want you
I want every whisper in your soul
I want you
I want to be everything you know

Giving my permission to sin
A quality that I submit
To sense the yearning in your mind
And to leave this morality behind

I want you
Like a child wants a pet
I want you
To be the memory I won't regret
I want you
Like the Sun wants to burn
I want you
To be the body that I learn

Forgive me now I earned your trust
A feeling where I lost the sense of us
I lost my head and for sought my heart
Now my desire tears us apart

You wrote this in a song format... the repeating stanza... the change in structure, the rhyme scheme... play within the lines... I liked the construction.. yet... this would be better with a voice... all that is missing... and music to accompany...

Wow, thats some intense passion, i like the way it warps up at the end, i got a sense that She almost loves her lover to intensly, and it could be too much for them. Very loving poem but also very sexy. you need both for real love in my opinion. Cool poem

I like the repetition in the poem. Desire of love make us want everything. It isn't a bad thing. I enjoyed the flow of thoughts and the surprise ending. Good to swim in paradise of real love. If we are lucky. Love can be free and easy without any roadblocks. No weakness in the amazing poem of love.
