Hunger Poem by Stefanie Fontker

Hunger



I am hungry for love
Let me touch you
Don't you want me, too?
Cease, your amazing act
Be not coy, M'lady
For my eyes!
May bleed blood as well
Stroke my simple heart
I refuse to let go
Why won't you-
Trust me too soon?
Fair maiden! You burn me
Who is it you see
When you glance at me?
Devil, lover, child
Though I only see you
A truth beyond my right
Hold me at arm's length
Whilst I grasp at empty air

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Hold me at arm's length Whilst I grasp at empty air An interesting mix of desire and reluctance to be embraced.
