There is hunger to feast
That you simply don’t know
Urges to dine on your lips
Continually grow
This fever pitch longing
To know how you taste
Your mouth feeding mine
Gently embraced

An exchange of tongues
From my mouth to yours
Excitement builds heat
Sweat seeping pores

Let me cup thy face
As you pull me close
Let us seal the distance
Softly, nose to nose

My hunger for you
Honestly will not die
I’d just as soon halt
Retreat, say goodbye

I’m incapable, though
Longing won’t let me be
My heart may be locked
But you hold the key

What say you, beloved ?
How long ne’er to speak ?
‘Tis your voice, that I crave
An embrace that I seek

My love, like a fire
Burns a hole in my heart
Why is it so ?
We be miles apart

Every day it’s the same
And I constantly miss you
What be the harm ?
All I want, is to kiss you
