I wanted to love and knew how to do it. <br />I wanted to give... <br />Touch and abandon my inhabitions, <br />In lustful thoughts I seem to savor. <br />And I sit on a sand dune... <br />On the shores of Cape Cod, <br />Just before dusk. <br />Thinking of 'us'! <br />When there is no 'us'... <br />To share the coming sunset, <br />Yet! <br />I watch the seagulls dip and dive for fish, <br />Realizing I must keep my wish alive! <br />If the tides hold promise to nourish... <br />Why can't I be plucked by someone, <br />Who sees my need to be fed and feed <br />With unwavering anticipation, <br />Stored to nibble and taste!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
