To Have, But Not To Own Poem by Leria Hawkins

To Have, But Not To Own
Date: March 3,2015

Where have you been lately
I need to know what’s real
The man behind the secrets
What you think, n’ what you feel
I need to hear the whispers
That once held fast my dreams
The lilt of soulful sighs
The lustful, burning scenes
I need to taste the honey
Still sweet upon my lips
The fire that singed my body
The fury of your kiss
I long to wake tomorrow
Tucked in nice n’ warm
Enflamed with such desire
Held breathless by your charm
I need to know that someday
You’ll reach out to take my hand
And promise me forever
To know…I’ll understand
I need the rage and fervor
That only you inspire
It keeps me hot and hungry
My heart and soul afire
I need to hear “I Love You”
To know I’m not alone
I understand our secret’s
To have, but not to own
