these urges

by Paula Schikkerling - leo - Not entered

i crave you sometimes -
an absurd yearning
like a pregnant woman's appetite for the peculiar
you come to me at night
while i'm trying to surrender my thoughts
to the astute themes
of authors who are not writing about 
contented love or lost love
or love at all
your taste enters my mouth
and i want to choke on it
and spit it out
but it seeps smoothly into my gums
and coats my tongue
yes i crave you sometimes
but mostly what i crave 
is to have myself back
and not to have to crave you
at all

Reason for writing:

    i think the poem speaks for itself.....i'd love some feedback if anyone would like to send me an e-mail
