Feelings.....
      Discovered, Explored, Explained
Never Felt
       Lived or Loved

Talk to me
       Share with me
              Hold me
                    Kiss me
                          Know me
                  Love me
Don’t need me
Talk at me
Or Take me
           Want me
                  Desire me

                Don’t consume me

The sea swallowed me
in its' salty waves.
Pursued me in its'
Power.
I was unable to see in its' wake.
Breath in its' presence.
Its' depths and darkness engulfed me.
Fear.
Despair.
Loss.
Longing.
All these lived here.
And then came you....
words.
My words.
My voice.
First thought,
Then gathered,
Finally written,
Then Shared.
Poetry YOU saved me
from myself.

You......a lover of words
Painting pictures with each syllable
Evoking feeling with every click of the keyboard.
Yet you will not feel or hear the words of mine.
How angry I am with you.

I've been dreaming about you again.
The outline of your lips telling me your thoughts in unspoken words.
Funny how they’ve never touched.
Yet I wake and feel the remnants of your kiss.

Your silence tells me everything I need to know.
And yet I search for hints of your love in it.
Like a squirrel storing up for winter I hoard our memories.
Use them to fill me during this famine.
Your silence only serves to fuel my dream that we are still us.
