you are required
to exist within the strictures of reason
and think in lines and squares
you are required
to wake at a certain hour
and appear at an appointed place
you are required
to grin and bear dreams deferred
for marginal mediocrity
but
i require
the teeming torrent of passion
that drives discovery of the sublime
i require
the burning rebirth of a thousand suns
torches in the night of new dreams
i require
the promise of wild lascivious eyes
and the whipping wind of desire
i require you
