i wore that shirt that you hate today,
you didn't even notice.
you didn't say anything to me today.
have i lost my touch?

I am an aging man;
you are a younger woman.

So much uncertainty
caught in the few words

of such a simple sentence.

The world will have
something harsh to say
about this.

It always does.

Lucky for me I am
no longer a worldly man.

But you must still
find your path in it.

I hope that path
leads you to me,

but

I am an aging man;
you are a younger woman,

and that's plain for
all the world to see.

Two solitudes
greeting,
touching,
and protecting
each other.

If I could kiss you on the lips,          
beneath the stars of deepest night    
I'd feel the dancing of your hips        
if I could kiss you on the lips          
possess your breath in small sweet sips  
until my heart with pleasure skips                                        
If I could kiss you on the lips          
beneath the stars of deepest night

We will sleep together
in my head tonight;
holding each other close
in arms of fantasy:
dream lovers,
made of imagination.
