I find my self oscillating
between chasms and  crevices in the distance between us
Luck never seems to be on my side
Slippage is a constant
Loose ground
Shaky legs
Crushed ice
Tight chest
breathless
No way out
Love's funny like that

We looked at each other with the awkward kind of knowing
Un-fed passions blazed in our eyes
we felt transparent as glass
Wondering if everyone saw what was written on our souls,
In our hearts.
There was no explanation
Emotions carried through time effortlessly
Spite and grievances only ever served to cope with the proximity of temptation
And the seemingly endless chasm of distance in each other's absences
Every violent tearing of our hearts quickly forgotten
We lingered in eacothers atmosphere
scratching for words that resembled polite conversation
Aching to sit quietly living in each other's eyes
There was a communion in the quiet spaces
Awkward as they were
Of togetherness
Of waiting
Of knowing
Our time would come
Not today,
this life time,
And maybe not the next
But inbetween;
Like the spaces between unnecessary words
Where a whole universe lives
Between our souls

I'm seaching for traces of you in the ether left of your short presence
The warm glow of basking in your thoughts of me
The quiet pleasure of knowing I've affected you in some way
Unruffled you refuse to give anything away
You didn't think it through
My soul has a window on you
The stony looks hide nothing of our irreverent connection
Lost to the world for seconds that fill the void with lifetimes
Scorched by those burning eyes
your glow already envelops me
Don't get too close,  
Sparks have a habit of spurring flames
We know better than to mix fire with gasoline
A quick touch
Transfers so much
I am left reeling
I push you away though you still linger in my atmosphere
Standing in your vacated place
Till the last vibration of warmth dissipates
And my soul has the course to move again
searching for another chance to hover near you
In time and spaces undefined by the regular course of love.
