This poem explores the relentless pull of longing and the intoxicating power of desire. Writing in the ABC format allowed me to build a steady, escalating rhythm, mirroring the intensity of emotions that grow with each line. The theme is a departure from my usual subjects, making it both a challenge and an intriguing venture into passion’s darker, more obsessive side. Love, after all, is not always gentle—it can be a fire that refuses to be extinguished.
Listen to poem:
Anything is possible for me, so here's my take
But I must warn you, it's a topic that's quite risque
Can't resist her, though she's out of reach
Desire burns inside, an itch I cannot breach
Every thought consumed by this love beyond compare
Fantasies and daydreams, I simply cannot bear
Great lengths I'll go, just to be close to her
Hungering for her touch, an insatiable hunger
In my mind, she's always there
Just out of reach, but I do not despair
Kisses, caresses, all just a dream
Longing for her embrace, nothing is as it seems
My heart beats fast at the mere mention of her name
No matter what I do, this desire cannot be tamed
Overwhelmed by the intensity of my passion
Perhaps one day we'll be together, no longer a mere abstraction
Quietly I wait for that moment to come
Restless, yearning, until the day I can call her my own
Savoring every thought of her, I cannot resist
The feeling of being near her, something I cannot dismiss
Unwavering love for her, beyond what others may know
Vividly dreaming of a future where our love can finally show
With every fiber of my being, I yearn for her touch
Xtatic with desire, a feeling that is almost too much
Yearning, aching, until the day I can finally have her
Zealously pursuing a love that will last forever.
