Time elapsed has been good to me Past pains have diminished Memories of laughter draw me back Not for it all, but for the friendship. Our conversations have been easy No expectations or complications Lines left uncrossed, flirtations tossed For more serious communications. Deceived by the distance and Misled by my [fragile] armor of strength I believe I can see you again Without falling into your arms again. We meet with an embrace I feel a simmering warmth Initially mistaken as just The joy of seeing an old friend. But, Your smile starts to sedate me I am losing consciousness with reality Your eyes have launched a stealth attack On my logic and disarmed my sense. My ears capture only silence My eyes keenly focus on your lips My mouth tastes your every word I bite firmly upon my lower lip. The heat now radiating is too intense My clothes singe in the flames of desire I am bare and breathless before you Resuscitated only by your kiss and...touch. D   a     m        n Quickly weakened in your presence I am but an iron particle drawn in your magnetic field It is now clear It is in the distance and only in the distance Where I am strong. © Tina Thompson

Strength in the Distance
Time elapsed has been good to me Past pains have diminished Memories of laughter draw me back Not for it all, but for the friendship. Our conversations have been easy No expectations or complications Lines left uncrossed, flirtations tossed For more serious communications. Deceived by the distance and Misled by my [fragile] armor of strength I believe I can see you again Without falling into your arms again. We meet with an embrace I feel a simmering warmth Initially mistaken as just The joy of seeing an old friend. But, Your smile starts to sedate me I am losing consciousness with reality Your eyes have launched a stealth attack On my logic and disarmed my sense. My ears capture only silence My eyes keenly focus on your lips My mouth tastes your every word I bite firmly upon my lower lip. The heat now radiating is too intense My clothes singe in the flames of desire I am bare and breathless before you Resuscitated only by your kiss and...touch. D   a     m        n Quickly weakened in your presence I am but an iron particle drawn in your magnetic field It is now clear It is in the distance and only in the distance Where I am strong. © Tina Thompson
