Seeking
Searching
Moving through life
Ever watchful
Each passing face
eyes meeting
Then slipping away
waiting for some spark
to recognition.
Seeking
Searching
moving through this life
eyes meeting
a spark is felt
soft smile
connection made
held
the rush felt
when hands first collide
Fingers intertwine
lips meld
bodies lock
two become one
the connection is made
held.

Tired of the dance we do - you ask - “what do you want” I evade
avoid
too afraid to tell you the truth
“what do you want?”
to not be afraid that you will be overwhelmed by my answer.
“what do you want?”
to be tangled up in you
feel my breath catch
“what do you want?”
to remember always
the first time I saw you
and knew for certain
you would be a part of me
in away no one ever had.
“what do you want?”
THIS - this nameless thing that has always existed
between us - this chemistry, this connection, this comfort,
this passion - THIS - YOU - US
“what do you want?”
Everything and Nothing.

Words
our life’s blood.

They cleanse
They clarify
They rationalize
They heal

Words
our closest
friends
and
dreaded Enemies

They tie
They bind
They wound
They divide

Words
Our common thread

They ties us
together

Bound by a
common love

They cleanse us

Heal us

when little
else
can

Words
Our current Barrier

They rationalize
the wounds
we inflict
upon
each other
Dividing us

For any kind words
whispered but not heard
The intent
must be more
closely examined

for words
meant to
comfort
missed their mark

For tender
trespasses

of a
too eager
friend

One can
only use
these

meaningless
things
words

to gain
understanding
and
forgiveness
