I Want To



I want to sense your essence. I want to sense your soul.
I want your effervescence.
Your probities extol.
I want to stop your tremble. I want to stop your quake.
I want you to assemble.
Your dubieties shake.
I want to breathe your fragrance. I want to breathe your air.
I want to burn your incense.
Your intuition bare.
I want to walk beside you. I want to walk in hand.
I want to read every clue.
Your proposals outstand.
I want you to feel certain. I want you to feel sure.
I want to raise the curtain.
Your devotions secure.
I want to know you need me. I want to know you care.
I want your love to lead me.
Your intentions declare.
