The Urge The Longing For Satisfaction Poem by RIC BASTASA

to scratch an itch
to caress that which gives us pain
the fingers play a song
on the body on the hair
deep within
the lost purity of my soul

there is always the satisfaction
after the scratching of an itch
there is a smile on closed eyes
lips wet and body sweat

there is a dream
a fantasy somewhere

without you
my thoughts of you
my longing about what you are to me

there is in my body a black bird wanting to fly away
without you
