Love, Need and ...

Was there ever time when
You lost yourself
in words falling from lips
sweet
Waiting for a time when
today would
walk consistent
with dreams
Would you let yourself
hang all out
before the one who could
break something in you
with a single phase

Getting lost
on emotions
destination becomes
habitual places of
wanting without knowing
and knowing
is the only salvation
not knowing them
but yourself

Nodding at all the inconsistencies
of making love
make sense
you favor those times
when it fits into categories of
time
good feelings and want
Isn't it foolish to want
on an empty heart

Loving is a need
like water
and shelter
even if you have to give it to yourself
But when you are loved by that one
you thrive
like cherry blossoms opening for the spring sun

to love
is to need
and to need is to be
to be in connection with the giver
don't spend time
running from yourself
open your arms wide
to the child within
and embrace it
with the infinite
