I Need Not Much

I Need Not Much I need not much though I tread Each passing day, some to dread I need not much to what dismay I feel a cringe down my back today I long for touch, and not for bread I long for your words you left unsaid But, I need not much of coffee or wine I feel content from your smile all the time To say I need not much is understated For I am a lonely soul that has been jaded From a false sense of security I received from a youth I was so far from reality and truth Now, I long for glimpses from your sapphire eyes I long for your love that surely never dies But, I need not much from books or t.v. I feel your love most when you are with me Just a caress to the cheek, or a touch to the thigh A sweet whisper in the ear as the days go by Just a reminder in the morn of your side turned to mine As we lay in bed till the later evening time I need not much, because you have returned to me That because you're finally here I am merrily I need not much, just your loving hands on mine This burning love is filled with your divine
