Desert

I deserve to be kissed with temul,
To be loved with such a verve,
To be wanted, desired like none other,
To be pursued with the intent of a hungry wolf.

I deserve to be wanted by a man I want,
To fall in love endlessly,
To be powerfully lauded in silent awe
By a man I love as endlessly.

I deserve to be kissed, and woken up,
My every cell alight,
My every nerve trembling with joy
At forever possibility.

I deserve to rest vulnerably,
To be safe in a world of safety
To finalize my love infinitely
In a love of final infinity.

I deserve to be:
To be well in a magical way
To take for granted nothing
In a today-forever-now.

I deserve you…
For every one of you, I love
So powerfully,
So infinitely.
