Those eyes. In the face of a stranger, 800 miles from home Nostalgia gripping all being. A pang of familiarity, Watching the false you Losing sensation of breath and self Stretching and piercing deep within, Heartbeat; Heartache? As skin recalled the touch Of dissembled intention Fingertips to caress, Lips to promise and evoke, A passion of two souls in tandem Reaching for something Zenith in existence An exchange of emotion A gift of connection Without restriction Awe of existence, and depth of being Preparation for a reaping Of exchange, and return. Void of insight; Bearing the fruit Of misplaced intimacy Vacant and hollow the reception A chasm of lust Intwined with need Selfish and unforgiving Setting fire to the dry tinder of a heart Only to watch the flames Engulf and destroy Silently. Furtively. Withdrawal and reflection Feeling the cold absence of touch From this distance
