Urgency

my urgency to need you
was never before such
a pulling of the heart strings
a grinding to the stop
signs of desperation
(we'd never call it that)
my urgency to leave you
flashlight to the stars
like salt pulled from water
so far I never would go
away to a desert island
of death is you no more
my urgency to be you
and every ounce I know
in all mirrors I see
you a reflection of myself
a completion like a puzzle
pieced from hands of love
my urgency to keep you
a desire known to few
like passion I must hold
these moment tight as ice
in a smooth perfect freeze
framed my body sweet inside
