All I Ever

all I ever want from this world
is love –
I speak, the world has heard and hears nothing

a friendly face
a lover’s touch
stays one day
flutters another
how ready I am to cry this change!
yet in my deepest purest truest
I realize
man, what fragile beings
me and them are but searching still
the same same thing
uttering, all I want

I won’t if I don’t hear. but I do!
hence I shall my love be true
and speak of give
