Beyond

I hunger for your kiss,
But that's not something
So easy to admit,
As I stand here, Sighing.
Would it be the end,
Or the beginning?
Would you break me,
Or be my salvation?
Must everything be so drastic,
So dramatic--
I know nothing beyond the ghost,
The haunting spirit of your touch.
I try not to breathe
So deeply in your beauty,
But I am beyond myself,
Surrendered to the power beyond
My self control,
And pray to your whim
Or mercy--
I hunger for your kiss.
