Need Love

Wallace Dean LaBenne 

The depth of the longing which lies in my soul...
The yearning, the burning, unknown to control...
Is raising, amazing; where is the height?
I need you, my love. Now break through this sight.
Come to me, vision, and melt me in love.
Then, hold me, enfold me, a theme now above,
With passion, affection, in your magic way.
I need you, my love, turn dark into day.
