On My Mind

By Jerry Olson

I lay here quietly in the dark

Deep inside me, glows a spark

The air breathes cool across my skin

Desire burns fiercely deep within

Thoughts of you, play on my mind

Living here alone seems so unkind

Temperature rises, I'm getting hot

You should be with me but you're not

My fingers touch tightly, the spot of desire

I still can't quench this raging fire

I need your love close beside me

I need your passion I can see

So reaching deep inside my heart

I pull your memory that will not part

Your touch can heal all fiber and bone

But I am here all alone

My love is finally laid to rest

To you my love, I've given the best

I dream of your tender embrace

The way you gently caress my face

Come to me now, lay by my side

How much more, must I abide

I need you more than rhymes can say

I need you more each and every day

I love you more than my own life

I keep hoping and hanging on

I wonder how much longer I can be strong

I stand alone, and wait to hear

For the day when you will be near

I long to hold you to my chest

Then I'll find great peace and rest

This sorrow builds, then goes away

My love grows stronger day by day
