A Sense of Belonging
"Romantic lovers require from each other at least the facade
of reason: The desire to be what romantic love makes us
appear in the other's eyes. We want to imagine we are
deserving of the love we inspire." ~Maggie Gallagher
We've been slow dancing—
romancing in a seductive prelude
Wooed by the cravings in our eyes
hypnotized in amorous flirt
Asserting glances sparked by embers
remembrances of a burning fire
Desire— the remnants of heated passion
Fashioned whispers, calling our names
claiming our hearts to beat as one
none has requited or sated
Abated our harvest of love yet to reap
Deep and lonely had been our nights
Blighted from cold and empty arms
Palm to palm we feast on each other
smothered by longing— a sense of belonging
