Hair By The Roots

I could fall into you in so many ways.
Being in the same room as you makes me smile.
The way you love and hate with such ease,
You don’t need anything
But you know what you want
And if I can be on that list
If only for a day
Then color me happy
Color me lucky
Color me the man who will take advantage of
An opportunity to open your love gate
And see what is inside.

Because, really, I don’t need you
I don’t need you at all.
But Lord do I want you.
Oh how I want to straddle your lap
And hold your face in my hands
Just to give you tiny kisses and stare at those
Beautiful eyes, so empty of need and full of my desire
Just to watch you want me
And devour my ego
Like an appetizer
Flawlessly showing how much I want your touch
You nails on my skin
And your sounds in my ear.

Its’ been so long since I’ve loved the way I should
Its’ been so long since I’ve been loved
Instead of needed
It been so long I don’t know how to contain myself
Or how to give you a slice when you are the whole pie.
How do I stop myself my from falling into you and
Consuming every last breath
When I am nothing but a parasitic love hound
Scratching at your door
Ready to worship your body as my temple
And watch you beg for my energy
As I fill up your empty reservoir of need
And wants
And desire
Exploring the deepest crevasse until you have
No place to hide.
