The Hunger


The tenderness of your embrace

continues to beckon me.
Inside my mind, I see
the ardent look you can’t disguise
each time that I’m in your view.
And as you bid adieu,
embarking on another race
that takes you so far away,
I yearn for you to stay
and put an end to our goodbyes.

The passion burning in your eyes
will always draw me back to you!


No other lover can displace

your standing within my heart.
Whenever we’re apart,
I long for you to quell the storm
that often returns at dawn;
it’s why, to you, I’m drawn.
A strange caress cannot erase
the hunger that lives inside,
which I must set aside
’til, with your touch, I am reborn.

Soft kisses from your lips so warm
still linger after you have gone.


These feelings that you spawn,

the hunger that goes on and on,
this spell I can’t undo
forever keep me wanting you.
