i came walking down a lonely street
in search of someone there to meet 
my head ablaze in fiery gale
someone just beyond the bend
my empty soul its hole to mend 
pale of skin or dark complected
body pert or long neglected 
do i want or is it need 
from this aching in my heart be freed
by finding love compassion too
a friend to hold me guide me through
bring me peace in troubled times
laughter and joy in rapturous climbs
a sense that my feet firmly are planted
or a good honest view when my own becomes slanted
it seems like so little yet i know it's so much
but i would also like someone with that special touch
that can bring forth the knowledge of unspoken truth
or when at the right moment an animal lust
are you that person i journey to find 
or another excursion to broaden my mind?
