I want a world where fewer people are killed
in the name of religion
than by accidents or disease.

I want to escape to a deserted isle
where the only thing touching me is you
and a caressing breeze.

I want to curl up with a good book,
find four snaps when I go to unhook,
enjoy a meal that we both cook.

I want to laugh at your jokes,
shudder with pleasure from your sleek strokes,
lie with you in the grass
under the spreading oaks.

I want to make love at our leisure,
encircle your body as I take your measure,
look into your eyes as we take our pleasure.

What do YOU want?...
