I Want You

I want you Fantasy's a fleeting feeling I'm reeling for the reality of your kiss Luscious on my lips Ahhhh to taste Imagination's a waste I want you Riveted, you stand and stare Do I dare share this wanton whisper? Shall I lay it bare? I want you In every dream In every waking thought You're there My eyes can't disguise Too foolish to be wise A dangerous disclosure: my feigned indifference? Just lies! Desire's drive won't be denied I want you Proximity, passion's pull I crave I ache For heaven's sake My reserve's about to break Decorum's at stake But...but oh...how I want you Cheeks crimson in the wake of your charisma Your eyes lock on mine Body weak I can hardly speak That look... Could it be true? Do you...want me too? As you move closer to me I feel the incendiary heat hit me in w~a~v~e~s In a daze Your gaze, this craze You lean in and whisper my name Lay your claim There's no shame Who's to blame? Passion's hard to tame "I want you"... escapes ... ragged from your lips as they close on mine Melting into the sublime eternity bound in time I feel you tilting my head back by my hair Your lips trailing everywhere Mine free to declare: "Ahhhhh... I ...want....you!" Eileen Manassian Ghali
