I Know Want
(for Sandy ~ I love you sweetly)

I know the fire that burns inside
At the thought of a kiss,
The memory of a lingering touch.

I know the ache of passion
And the sweet misery of desire
When fulfillment is just at
The tips of my fingers.

I know the tears that scald hot,
Frustration alive,
Eating me inside like
A demon set loose.

I know the endless scream of desperation,
Of tasting and touching
Phantom to the senses;
Of wanting to know them again

I know want...
For I want you...
Every time I see you.
