Though apart,
most every day
Our fiery bond,
finds its way
Each moment,
with longing to be near
Yet held steadfast,
in our hearts so dear
Adventures and travels,
far away
Love burns stronger,
eternal we stay
Through it all,
we persevere
Souls connected,
in the mirror.

Every day that passes by
while we are apart
Is one day closer to our next
embrace of heart.

Escaping tears fall
from the windows of the soul,
crystalline prisms,
slicing down through the air,
landing upon aged parchment,
composing beautiful notes of
bittersweet symphony.

Every day
We find a way
Though kept so far apart
Still fill the voids of heart
Never taking for granted
Passion others recanted
Reciprocated
Together sated
Unfolding each other
Holding one another
Lost souls found
Eternally bound

Love storybook without ever after end,
yet never ending love.

Love ending never,
yet end after ever without storybook love.

My clenched fists beat against your chest as I screamed in the night.
You snuffed my thrash, clutched my hands in your own and hugged me tight.
I cried out in agony, angst of life unfair
You stood strong, held me, ran your fingers through my hair
White knuckles still balled up, nails cutting into my palm
Your loving whispers to me soothing my torn heart calm
With my hands firmly pressed close, still between us embraced
You laid pen in my hand for words not to be erased
A treasure among all the loving gifts you give me
Realization of self, found freedom,
MY poetry

Everyday...hour...minute...second...
fractions infinite
you occupy my heart.

I thought I had it all figured out...
I knew life didn't always go as planned, yet I became expert at making the most of what was served, and feasting.
I thought I'd filled the void in my heart with such an eclectic array. I know I had, without regret to this day.
I just didn't realize I'd missed a hole, a perfect silhouette of the cliche puzzle piece.
The empty space camouflaged so well amid my life's treasures.
Then I met you, a passer-by, exchanged hellos of mere acquaintance...but then I met you again, and your eyes, looking back at me, reflecting back such a magnificent light.
You, so... So desirable, with such a passionate, heartfelt, sincere, honest, forgiving, accepting and loving grasp on life...perfectly broken.
I could draw for hours, days, eternity tracing and connecting the lines into speechless works of art.
Your shattered pieces glistening, emitting the most elegant aura I'd ever seen.
Foreign to me, such grace from pain.
I thought I'd mastered that, thought...
Until I looked into your eyes, and met greatness.
I found myself lost in gaze with you.
****** into another realm, through twisting wormholes of iridescent glows, contrasting with the pitch black of eternity surrounding...spinning, up then down, left then right, backward and forward...Until I was spat out into an eerily silent crisp white serenity.
There, I was faced with your soul, and I saw myself.
They say there's only one face you'll never meet, and that is your own, yet there we were, face to face.
The missing puzzle piece to the void in my heart that I'd worked so hard to cover.
The eyes are the mirror to the soul?
I found myself in you, and watched as you recognized yourself in me.
Each finding the exact of what was missing, what we needed to find, not a moment too soon, not a second too late, but just as it is meant to be.
Two sets of shattered glass, pieced together, gleaming as the fragments intermix harmoniously, into an intricate phenomenal masterpiece.
And when the darkness surrounds us, melded together we find the slightest sliver of starlight to dance with hope, and light the moon.
And when the light shines, we warm our world, with a most ardent soft glow.
I know now, I see now...
I see you, I see me...
Us, stained glass of broken souls, amalgamated as one beautiful reflection of love.

My heart beats in Morse code
calling out to you.
.. / .-.. --- ...- . / -.-- --- ..-

Fingers weaving together like lace
Arms wrap like an octopus embrace
Tongues play in synchronous dance
Eyes locking in a starlit trance
Head upon chest hearing the beat
Kiss to keppie soothing so sweet
Fitted together like a seamless dovetail
Undulating connected hearts set sail

Unsung words
of our hearts harmony
In another time
we long to be
Rhythms step off-beat
in time's cruelest rations
Yet our souls dance
with graceful glow of passions
Forever together
yet never
you and me
Alas
we love amid
bittersweet fantasy.

Fickle time
my torment
Winds up
my soul's lament
Time must pass
to enjoy what is to come
But the in between
is ever loathsome
Waiting through
agonizing slow cadence
The tick tock tests
my impatient patience
I urge the pendulum pace
to please advance
To the next moment
in your arms where we dance
Once together
again
With swift speed
the hands spin
I beg the gears
for a moment still
They pay no mind
to my wish and will
The only steady rhythm
of time I know
Is the constant of you
in my heart's tempo.

No vacancy, you had said from the start,
No room for love, left in your heart.
Even if you were to charge me rent
It would be worth every dollar spent.
So I obliged and stayed posted up outside
But our love grew too deep for either to hide
You let me in and I pay the monthly fees
With all I can offer, always wish to please.
No cash transactions to collect or pay,
Exchanged services instead, day after day
A text, a message, love notes through morning and night
Or a poem where the words need to be just right
A kiss for a kiss, or an ogle for a gaze
We dode on each other in all possible ways
So landlord you may be, but please just remember this part.
I'm tenant and grounds keeper, I'll always tend to your heart.

Old souls lost in the dark so long
Longing for a lost hearts song
Songs mending hearts with desire
Desires healed with passionate fire
Aflame with passions in love found
Find love in synchronous sound
Echoed harmonics freed from lost sight
Seeing notes cast with free souls new light.

Tantalizing tentacles
taste and tease
intertwining
tip to toe
in two-step
into one

Vicious snarling guttural growls
With fire in the eyes
The beast is pulling at the end of its chain
Clawing and scratching with primal instinct, gnashing teeth for just a taste
Crouched, rocking on the haunches
in front of the creature,
Feeling hot breath upon war painted face, arms at the ready, body braced for attack...
Unleash the beast

Each day I wake, I adorn my mask
Cover the pain, a most daunting task
I hide deep within my hallowed shell
Puppeteer function, hope none can tell
Pull the crooked lever hinged to the smile
Interact with strangers, another dial
Crank the handle that winds up the walk
Yank on the chain to make the mouth talk
Like a one man band who plays and sings
Work all the complex pullies and strings
Mechanized master, it's become routine
Armoured safe within my tarnished machine

SInful
Creatures of
Primal
Passion that
Envoke a
Love
Beyond
Mortal
Rapture

Ever changing, ever growing...
Rarely certain, rarely knowing...
What each day holds for you and me...
When next embrace or kiss shall be...
How time is spent apart waiting,
Filled with hope anticipating...
Where we're plotting, planning, scheming,
Passing days crazed and daydreaming.
Through all the what, when, how and where
One constant shall always be there...
Never a question as to why...
For love as ours we can't deny.
