unencumbered

i need you –
more than – want,
more than – have to have,
as much as – to die for…

 
i need –
you,
longer than,
forever –
before – now!
addicted to –
the all-of-you,
i cling to your every word.
place them – captive –
in my heart…

 
and when i find,
you’ve gone away –
i pull them out –
remembering the way you looked right into me –
spoke comfort,
calmed storms,
extinguished fires of discontent,
by simply uttering my name!

 
i carry –
you,
deep within – me.
unencumbered
as light attached to dawn –

 
you are my sunrise.
guiding light.
that leads me safely home!
