What Do I Want From You
What do I want, you asked one night,
And now I shall answer you.
I want to see your eyes shine so bright,
As together, as one, we move.
You turned to me, beneath the dark,
You asked what I desire.
I desire you to leave your mark,
And relight the smouldering fire.
What do I need, you questioned me,
And now I think I know.
I need your body to cherish me,
And together, wherever, forever, we will go.
What am I looking for, your soft voice spoke,
And I for once was stuck.
I am looking for you to be eternally stroked,
And embraced with healing love.
What do I want from you, you asked,
And I knew how to answer.
I want this love never to be masked,
And to stay with us like a cancer.
I want your body, twisted round mine,
I want your lips to taste,
I want your hands, finding mine in time,
I want your arms around my waist.
I long for you in the evening light,
I want to feel your touch.
I wish to make love to you at night,
Is that asking for too much?
I desire to see your face at dawn,
I need to hear you moan.
I need you to wake beside me at morn,
And for you to be my own.
