Joel Hawksley Poet ABC

Notes About The Poem

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:

Unquenchable Desire

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.

I have been there when I was much younger but it never panned out. Joel Hawksley February 12, 2025 at 4:58 AM It gives me great pleasure to read your comment. However, it saddens me that it never panned out for you. I appreciate the time you took to read and comment. It is always lovely to hear positive comments. I now know the poem has not been brushed aside. Thank you, Oliver.
