What I Need

I need a lot, but i need not to need.

A simple mind needs simple pleasures, but I need more.

I need a lot and need not thought just to need.

I need much more if I am to please.

I need tomorrow and I need today.

I need the April, I need the May.

I need the morning, night, and noon.

I need the earth, the sky, the moon.

I need too much, I think.

I need to breathe, I need to blink.

I need great myriads of things,

I need laughter to give me wings.

I need the sorrow... to love, to die.

I need to borrow what I can't supply.

I need judgments and praises.

I need puzzles and mazes.

I need focus, I need distraction.

I need to see the main attraction.

I need age, and I need youth.

I need lies, and I need truth.

I need to grieve, I need relief.

I need to see, I need belief.

I need the subtle raindrops on surfaces above.

I need always your touch, your voice and your love.

...Most of all what I need is you.
