I feel adored but not desired;
I feel cared for but not craved.
I need a man who needs my body
as much as he needs my heart.
I want to be wanted in
the physical sense.
I long for the urgency
of flesh-on-flesh hunger.
More than a gentle touch,
I wish your love was intense.
If only it could be like
that fiery passion of my youth.
You state the issue very
You state the issue very well, in the inimitable Metaphorist style. I suspect that the issue has tormented countless others across the whole spectrum of time. The horrible paradox is that while the problem is experienced by so many, the very experience makes the individual feel so isolated. I applaud your poetic skill---which I have admired for years.
