Sweat and Honey

I come to you now
parched and hungry 
running only on an intuition
that you can help
I wonder why the undercurrent 
Is so strong  
So constant here
That’s why every time we
Push pull a little
A little closer
With words and fingers and hope
I whisper
who is this man
who reduces me
to sweat and honey

I etch my image
whole dense sweet wet
inside you 
Hoping that will
somehow let you see
I’ve been waiting
For you
For a long time
That’s why every time we
Push pull a little
A little closer
With words and fingers and hope
I whisper
who is this man
who reduces me
to sweat and honey

Sometimes
Just before you arrive
You make believe
That you don’t need to
do it alone
Sometimes
You want so bad
You love before you know
You love too soon

I know now
What I didn’t know then
You will always be alone
Light does not escape you
Your intensity will never replace feeling
That’s why every time we
Push pull a little
A little closer
I moved further further away
From sweat and honey
