1. I am craving intimacy
I have forgotten, you see,
the feeling of skin
on skin.
to hold your hand
or lay a kiss on your cheek,
I am craving intimacy.
more than I have ever
craved cigarettes,
your breath on my neck
or the rising of your chest
as you sleep.
I am craving intimacy,
come give it to me.

2. I crave darkness
in your arms
though alone, I am terrified.
I crave moments
in which we can hide,
no eyes.
explore only with our sense of touch.
explore me blind,
I am yours.

3. there is no greater
accomplishment
than knowing your way
without sight.
that is what I want,
with your soul,
to know it so
I could recognise it
with my eyes closed.
