A Woman's Want
By Reshma Subramoney
I want you to want me
with a stalkers obsession
as my face captures your mind
with a fanatical fascination.
I want you to hunger for me
as the desert lusts for the cool, fertile Nile,
my lush shores beckons you
like darkness to it's night.
I want you to hold me
like it's our last embrace,
with beseeching arms that tremble
as you passionately whisper my name.
I want you to kiss me
With a shattering desperation
My lips, my tongue, my taste
A delicacy to satify your temptation
I want you to shatter my life
with your gentle, invading strength
as your love echoes in my mind
like thunder before the rains.
I want my heart to be
your every journey's destination,
its beating drum calls to you
like a siren to the sailor.
I want you to want me with an unquenchable fire.
Like a man addicted, you're enslaved by your desire.
Your heart, your body, your soul resonates with mine.
And through our love, we rise redefined!
