a poem from my boyfriend

CLYDE LONGS FOR BONNIE
I am missing you tonight lover and it aches in my chest.
Right where you would lay your troubled head and lay safe in my arms.
And sometimes when your away I'm the loneliest man in the world.
I'm loved by many but none of them love me quiet  like you.
 Because you have inspired the gift of poetry back into my sad heart.
You have coaxed the music out of my soul to be translated by my guitar.
Dear heart I'm throbbing with need..
My hands need  to caress you and feel the softness of you chocolate skin.
My lips need with unquenchable desire  to kiss the full ripeness of yours.
My ears need to hear you softly breathing.
The sum of flesh, blood, and spirit, cries out to feel all of your graceful being close.
Oh how I want you sometime.
I swore to myself that I would never be here again.
I just couldn't help falling in love with you.
So fuck it.
Ride or die.
Because you only live once.
Oh my love,  I bet  everything on you and said, " Let it ride"
And if I  bust, then your my last hand.
Baby doll the air is so warm and liberating this evening.
I have a deep longing.
I want to be on a deserted dirt road.
In the truck, widows down, music up, under the  stars shining like stolen diamonds.
As we expose what God made to the night.
Sharing each other completely.
Oh my love I am miss you right now. 
And this love poem is how I want to tell you that.
Because for some reason nobody writes love poems anymore.
