I see the answer
in your eyes

feel it
in your kiss

the hunger
of your heart

the aching
of your soul

the longing
to be loved

what is it
you truly
seek
want
desire
from life

the dumb luck
of ***** meets egg
that made you
flesh and blood

self aware
conscious
of the brevity
of life
and the finality
of death

like a match
temporarily
lighting
keeping
the darkness
at bay

only to be
swallowed up
devouring
all that was created
when extinguished

you are
the bright star
in a dark sky
guiding me

to you

the sun lingers
low
on the horizon
the sky
a patch work
of oranges
and iridescent purples

softly bluing
into black
darkness envelopes
stars light
flicker
twinkling
throughout the night

i feel it now
the loneliness
the yearning
for companionship

to hold and be held
safe and snug
in a loving embrace
of another

do you feel it
when we dance
in a closed embrace
the way I hold you
our bodies
as they move
saying so much
with so few words

do you feel it
when we dance
in a closed embrace
the heat of my body
softness of my breath
the way I hold you
delicate and gentle
my touch
says so much

The moment
you voluntarily
unconditionally
surrender
to fate
like a dried leaf
falling
to the ground
on a windy day
all your fears
worries
will vanish
and disappear
