"In My Wanting Years..."

@Uootem

Essential are you...
                ... to my being
          at least the memory of you.
                                Needing you...
                                          ... for writing motivation
                        at least the thought of you.
        Needing you...
                      ... to set things right
                                        in my wanting years.

Essential are you...
                ... as my muse
            mystical food for poems.
                                Needing you...
                                          ... to feel the love's essence
                        memory of the emotions so vivid.
          Needing you...
                      ... for life's true love
                                        for that you are to me.

Essential are you...
                ... as my measure
            to measure beauty around me.
                                Needing you...
                                          ... as a place of solicitude
                        my escape from a harsh grown-up world.
          Needing you...
                      ... as forever love
                                        so I feel the sensation
                                                            of
                                                                Needing you...
                                                                              in my wanting years.
