for years or for hours

the hunger never stops it never edges but all it does is devour each part of you

hither and thither my eyes they wander from your shoulders to the curve of your back from your neck to those fingers whose soft caress I crave

the hunger never stops hunting for you

its not only for the meaty and the tender but the kind and unkind that creeps and oozes which doesn't take form nor oblige to digest

the hunger never stops although lodging in its worst frame hunting for you

even though its almost a felony a cruel ailment with no remedy i persevere in this allegiance a devotion i can't quite justify

in a stillness with no life in a discretion without consideration in a senseless motivation i dive

it is contentedness one that a thousand teeth are unable to seek

because it is this mad hunger deep like the trenches of the eyes that never stops hunting for you

never will
