Love, powerful, compelling, without peer in human relationships.

When the sun takes leave of the western sky
Shadows of need occupy the halls of my soul
Thoughts of you that satiated my daylight
Are washed away with the moon’s rise

My arms are empty you are not here
For me to surround with my embrace
It is now that my heart and mind are one
In the deepest agony I’ve ever known

It is not want that taunts my spirit
It is need, need of the love you give me
Love that has totally captured my being
Living apart from the woman that embodies it

Agony and dejection are words, semantics
What you are to me, mean to me, transcends them
Only my heart, my soul know the love moving me
Emotions knit the threads of your love with my need

When circumstance and distance are the barriers
Constant tedium is the dance of two left feet
I crawl emotionally to where you are
On the pedestal where my love seated you

Only to arrive too late
You have moved on to another place
I must again pursue for a great distance
My spirit rises to the need of your love

Again I will trek through the obstacles
The gauntlets to where you are for the moment
As I catch my breath and rest, you move again
The cycle of my need begins anew

The sun takes refuge below the western sky
Shadows of need occupy the halls of my soul
Days and days as the need for your love amass
Send me a sign that you need me to catch you
