How I Want You Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

How I Want You



Do you want me?
Why?
And most importantly...
How?

'Am I to make quick deliveries?
Donate.
And then leave?

Am I the one you had your eyes on,
All your life?
Or do you regard me as a chocolate bar?
Something you want to nibble and lick.
Finding within your mind a like you delight.
Or perhaps...
Something that doesn't prick your lips...
With venom if it isn't what your thought of it.
And the absence of it is an absence to forget.
Which is it?

Do you want me enough,
To put up with my stuff?
And...
How do you want it?
With tenderness...
Or do you like it rough?
Tough.
Insensitive and mean?

What is it with me you see differently? '

Do you want me?
Why?
And most importantly...
How?

'Well...
If it has not been observed by you,
Yet!
What that is standing up,
Damn near to my chest.
Or,
How I want you.
And the 'why' in my eyes,
Have not made it clear...
They are trying with a struggle,
Not to pounce out from a hiding...
In the crevices of my mind.
Ready to declare this a begging scene.
Then...
You have missed 'your' dream.

However...
PLEASE do not interfere with mine!
As you analyze the How and Why of this...
Already taking too long! '
