My desire for you
My desire for you
is so great
that I find you everywhere.
You awaken me in the night
and whisper in the morning air.
You can't escape my sight.
Oh, you're all
my heart desires,
a warming ray by day,
at night a red hot fire
My desire for you
My desire for you
is so great
that I find you everywhere.
You awaken me in the night
and whisper in the morning air.
You can't escape my sight.
Oh, you're all
my heart desires,
a warming ray by day,
at night a red hot fire
Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
