Ron VanHooser Poet Rhyme

Draw You Near

I want to draw you near to me, 
closer than ever before. 
Deeper than anyone's ever gone, 
and yet I still want more. 

While flesh and touch are wondrous things, 
these are not of which I speak. 
I want you closer to my soul, 
not simply pressed against my cheek. 

I want to know your ins and outs, 
your highs and yes, your lows. 
I want to know the whole of you, 
not just what lies beneath your clothes! 

I long to know your heart's desire, 
your hopes and all your dreams.
Your sadness, sorrow, and disappointment also, 
for character builds upon these things. 

I crave your thoughts on the future, 
and the knowledge of your past. 
For what you see with the eyes fades away, 
but memories will surely last. 

I want to draw you near to me, 
closer than ever before. 
Deeper than anyone's gone, 
and yet I still want more.
