Oh how magnificent must be the feeling Of basking in the warmth of another. To feel the undying passion And mesmerising warmth of another life Would be a true blessing, One which is deserved by all But enjoyed by few. But why must this elusive club remain so clandestine? Clearly, this unbridled joy must act to dampen our stresses And brighten our lives But still it remains a delicacy Which is not to be taken with ease. But, were it an easy game to play, Would it still hold its value in our hearts and minds? Only in its absence, It would seem, Can we truly appreciate its presence. And so it eludes me For no reasonable that can be easily discerned. I hope to one day find that joy, And for my haunted ravings Of hollow days and nights To be rendered moot As I finally bask in that warm glow.
