Neither wanting more, neither asking why

So here's a beautiful poem. Dedicated to those of you who are "comfortable" yet static, who are content in just being in the moment with someone. Whether that moment is a friendship, an almost relationship, a relationship -- whatever. Comfort and not knowing or not needing to know whether it should be pushed
forward or not. Neither wanting more, neither asking why...

Neither wanting more
by May Swenson

To lie with you
in a field of grass
to lie there forever
and let time pass

Touching lightly
shoulder and thigh
Neither wanting more
Neither asking why

To have your whole
cool body's length
along my own
to know the stregnth
of a secret tide
of longing seep
into our veins
go deep...deep

Dissolving flesh
and melting bone
Oh, to lie with you
alone

To feel your breast
rise with my sigh
To hold you mirrored
in my eye

Neither wanting more
Neither asking why
