following is another one of my poems ... this one is dedicated to Keith, a wonderful close friend of mine ... we met, there are thousands of miles between us but our connection seem to grow closer together as time progresses. If you have any comments, please email me ...
... all night, we talked and ...
We're connected ... what does that mean?
I'm here, you're there ... the distance is great. It is possible; is it possible to share souls?
Is it possible to love? ... what is love? My brain is spinning ... chills through my body
The vision is brilliant ... the distance?
Ageism is a scourge ... it's everywhere
Does it really matter ... why? No games ... openness and honesty .
Pure relationship, pure love ... pure what? How do we ... connect, REALLY CONNECT?
Here ... there?
The vision ... meditate, breath in, focus
Breath out, release ... again? Continue ... in breath brings you closer
Out breath, you smile ... yes? Meditate ... the connection, I see it
Our vision is clear ... can I touch you?
A wall slides wide ... you're there ... we walk through
Fingers touching ... now what? Bright sunlight, open valley, green
Breeze, smell, fresh, clean ... why? A place of calm, beauty, brightness
A place of love ... love?
We touch ... we touch some more
Everywhere ... chills ... why? It can't re real ... I'm here, you're there
But I can feel ... your touch? We continue ... words flow between us
Our paths are mixed ... now sleep?
We drift into the unknown ... we're breathing deeply
Your mouth opens ... words? Sleep, sounds drift from your mouth, I draw closer
We lay face to face ... you whisper? Are you awake? You start whispering, some coherent words
We start ... talking?
I reach out, draw you into me ... I feel your warmth
I hear your words ... sleep? My mind moves into and out of reality
I still hear your words ... why? I drift off the page, to another world
And then I hear you ... cry?
I slowly return and see the tears ... I reach out
Touch, feel, pull you ... closer? You ask who I am, I tell you my name
Did it register? I see anger? You speak of family, a brother who gave you peace
His death ... your look?
We lay together and talk ... and cry
More secrets, more anger? We share our lives, we lay there
Touching and talking ... sleep? It's amazing, we drift, we talk, all night long
The words flow ... connection?
I awake, where are you, I feel your warmth
My fingers search ... emptiness? I see where you laid, I smell your body
I want you ... disappear? I can trace your body, I feel your passion
I ache with fear ... where?
Our vision appears, we reconnect
Fingers intertwined with passion ... questions? We speak of union, fantasies being fulfilled
The newness of love ... anger? You speak of being a child
Betrayed and assaulted ... trusting?
We share the pain, being violated
We tightly hold each other ... and cry? We know we feel the anger, we know
The trust was broken, don't tell ... tell? We need understanding, where do we turn
Can I trust you, and I ... trust?
We unite in our commonality
Our secret past, our journey ... our history? We drift away in unison, whispering
Holding each other, our eyes close ... the spirits? The night fades into dawn, rays of newness
Creep into the sky, beginnings?
I awake, new smiles appear, you fall across me
We hug each other, no words are necessary I feel your passion for the first time, but something seems wrong
Your love is over powering, it engulfs our bodies It calms our lust and we stand together
Holding tight, searching for a newness
We find our pathway in the sand, the waves invite us
To journey into the waters edge Hand in hand, naked in the new dawn
We step into the waves in search of a union The suns rays creep above the horizon, a new day
A new beginning, a new love, I'm here, you're there,
the distance is still there
But we're hand in hand
