Listen to poem:
At Times
nothing needs be said
to calm the turmoil within churning
your voice sweet balm soothes
quenches my thirst
appeases the throbbing
wild inside my chest
its savage emptiness
that tears away in silence
merciless wildfire within
consumes my every fiber
can’t seem to catch my breath
I wait I wait and still I wait
calling out loud your name
still there you are
calming the ache
if only for a moment
feverish auras locking
in their sensuous tango
