Gluttony

My desire for you is insatiable 

Feeling instant symptoms of withdrawal from seconds of separation

Taking more than my fair share of your time

Never wasting a second

Never letting a morsel of you slip my grasp

Not a moment of you going un-memorized

Lips running marathons on skin

Until we are unsure which tired first

Laughs so long the genesis is forgotten

Limbs circle each other

No one can tell who is holding whom but both agree to let go would be a great waste 

We hunger for each other aware we will never get full

The day will not come where we tire of our favorite meal

Each day a new course of well-prepared inside jokes 

Dessert not an ending, but the signal that the meal is returning to its starting point and we must get ready 

Blanket across my lap 

Unwilling to miss a crumb

Counting your hairs like a kid trying to count stars 

Or a man who has you trying to count blessings

Knowing that they may never finish

Knowing they will never stop trying

The glory is not in the answer

The glory is in the hunger
