Darling, I Need To Feed Poem by Mark Heathcote

Darling, I need to feed
I need to hunt and yet be free
Darling, I need to drown
But be sure I'm not lost at sea
Darling, I need to be unburdened
But have you shackled next to me
Darling, I can't douse out all my desires
But you're a burning star
I just can't let you go…

So if you want, you can clip my wings
Darling, I'll walk barefoot in the snow
I won't feel cold if you lay later in my arms
Darling if you, you're Luna skin
Lays on the bed - you can build bridges to my soul
I can't wait to cross to be with you
With you, eternally with you
Darling, I can't flee
Darling, I need to swim with the fishes
And follow a star, chase a star
I just can't let you go…

So if you want,
You can clip my wings
And make me walk barefoot in the snow
I promise you I'll not freeze
There's a hot lit stove always burning charcoal and wood
There I'll be always crackling like burning veal with your love.
Yes, I can never die
Oh, darling I just can't let you go…
Darling, I need another brush with your flames
Darling, ignite me with your sparks tonight.
