A dire need . . .

I’ve always felt the dire need

To be a body of water,

And beside it to lay & rest

My gravely heavy shoulders

 

I’ve always felt the dire need

To live beside the sea,

And of the sea a mist I breathe

Of all my dreams to be

 

I’ve always felt the dire need

To weep far into the ocean

To wash away my souls scars deep

Of betrayal from loves devotion

 

I’ve always felt the dire need

To whisper in your ears

Lay me at the waters edge

And wipe away my tears

 

Darkest nights create the dire needs

To rest a weary mind

To invite a lover into arms

Along a path entwined

 

And at these nights thresholds lie

Labyrinths of desires

Of love and hate and hunger pangs

And imaginations taking me higher

 

I’ve always felt the dire need

To live besides of thee

And of thine mist a breath I feel

That brings me to my knees

 

I’ve always felt the dire need

To live beside the sea,

And of the sea a mist I breathe

Of all my dreams to be
