what do you seek?

This is the first poem i have written in years. I won't be surprised if it comes across as juvenile or written on a whim. But i have been asked to present it by a few people so here it is. Again, do not over-expect.

----------------------------------------------------

Where will you go, with
your aching heart and tired mind?
Is it glory that you seek or
is it happiness that you wish to find?
Or do you hope to find 'her'
One who takes you into your world of dreams,
one who makes your reality worth bearing,
makes life better than it seems.
Get intoxicated by a whiff of her perfume,
Find heaven in the shade of her hair,
Seek life in every breath she takes
Fall deeper and deeper into her lair.
Entwine your soul with her fingers,
drink pleasure from her lips,
Feel bliss when she says your name,
your agony shredded and stripped.
Act stubborn to have her listen to your whims
Feel all your wounds healing under her care,
Enjoy her fussing over your existence,
wondering what it was like before you had her there.
Kiss away her tears and fears,
And find yourself healing,
As if all your sorrows have left too,
Made pain worthy of feeling.
What do you want, oh foolish heart
Do you want a little bit of love?
Is it glory that you seek or
Is it happiness that you wish to find.
