Time, the Speed of Light

I should have been there

I should have said to hell with it,

I will believe!

in you, in me, we two will last eternal

THIS is our time

I should have smelled your hair,

known the layers

of dark waves that adorn your face

like the halo of a perfect celestial creature

yes, the stars themselves bore little bursts to knit  

together the incomparable exquisiteness of you:

elusive scientist

pretty boy

Apollo

you are magic, you are water in the shape of a man

perfect among both men and women,

a sensual mystery of sinewy limbs,

sculpted lips, eyes peering out like dark brown moons

We should have been there

in the songs of life upon the sun

your long, thin fingers interlocked with mine

my heart singing louder, our suns strum the music

 

oh how your eyes see me, how it feels to be seen by you

your words: I inspire your concept of the cosmos

and I am the only pure entity you have ever known

 

The last time I touched you, Oct 2012

instantly transported

held by you and fall skies

showing me wonderment, and taking it from me

convergence of our air mixed inside collective lungs

gentle, so gentle the demeanor of your form

permeation in aroma

muffins, tea, your clothes

your breath...

the unmistakable addictive scent of your mouth

bones pressed together, and I cried, with the words

"I still love you, you still love me

and that’s not my imagination"

we in agreement, that it would always be true

as long as the galaxies keep motion alive

My need to kiss you;

undeniable, unending, insatiable need

you could not kiss me back,

for the woman

who would eventually

give you a son

but you let me kiss you

 

You let me kiss you

 

and sent me on my way

trying, for the rest of my life

to turn everyone I meet,

into you

Now, I don’t want anyone like him & I don’t.
