encounters (1): loneliness

finally this moment is here, I've been watching and waiting, I've been hearing it all along in between your words, in the center of the stories you tell so eloquently, so clever, so wise there is light in your right eye, some shadow in your left eye the evening light is sweetly illuminating the magnitude of loneliness some feelings need at least two people in order to be bearable you sat and listened you looked deeper into your body language receded, obscured itself like the moon sometimes there is no need for words something more important needs to be created in between bodies and minds, the flow of connection, of true partnership the waves started, the waters of loneliness surfaced you cried your tears and I cried mine as I listened to the silence of tears I understood: this was the moment for a few simple words: I see you, I am here there is no falling deeper than this for now truth, this scarry creature, was there in your flesh and mine your loneliness was like a sea without horizon but the shiver of depth  like a voice without screaming, a bird without flight perhaps this tango with tears will fill your lungs with innocence as you imagine a new horizon, a new architecture for happiness

Notes

This is a series of poems about meeting people, about how people pass through my body, my heart and my mind.

"Thus, if a resistance is in operation, it indicates that one is experiencing his or her thoughts or feelings as a danger."
