(a companion poem perhaps ..)


There is
a leaping point
in your eyes,

a  point
of no
turning
back or
retreat to
old tides
and waves
that through
the years
that have
carried me
to here,

and the
wishing of a
rubies kiss
upon your
lips.

is a
promise of
open hearts
without
compromise
or a lover's
retreat.

and I
hold your
heart still,

and pray for
it's strength
and gentle
whispers,

that I
might share
a moment
with it
here.

outside your
quiet shadows
inside your
deepest secrets,

it is good
that you
and I
have met
along this
journey of
life.

and I
could sit
inside your
eyes for
an eternity.

but I
would never
be content
with just
one.
