I step outside this gray spring morning.
How melodious the sound of rain meeting the metal roof;
How delightful to my ears this song of water drops each colliding and melding together,
Flowing to the gutters and spilling onto the soil.
How beautiful the sensation of this dance;
Water kissing my skin.
If I listen close I can hear the earth drinking and absorbing
It all in;
As does my heart and soul,
Quenching this thirst.
We climbed up
Out of the hole breathless and began
Rolling around on the
Ground giggling uncontrollably.
We dusted off our clothes and picked twigs out of each others hair.
Then
He took my hands, kissed my lips and started humming that song about being lost.
Holding on tighter
We
Glanced at one another once more
And
Dove right back in
To explore more uncharted territory.
I do not understand
Where it is you are
Reaching me.
Someplace
New,
Setting off a cataclysmic
Wave.
An eruption of thoughts
And
My synapses are firing steady
Filled with light and electric love.
Shaking cells flowing,
Skin tingling. Hair raising.
I feel your presence ,
Your direct approach
As you breech my perimeter.
Matter altering magic,
Eyes out of focus.
Senses magnified and restless as i smell
The charge in the the air.
I await your arrival in the veil.
A quantum kiss.
Out of mind and body.
Here, there,
Us
Dissolving to
Unify.
The word in the neighborhood
Was you wanted to kiss me.
You with your beautiful eyes
And playful grin.
Sometimes I would ride my bike by your house on the way to the park.
(my green girls bike with the funky handle bars and seat)
I thought it was dorky because all the cool kids rode boy bikes
Or banana seat bikes.
(And honestly,
I was just happy to have a bike)
Anyway,
You would say “Hi” in that rough voice of yours.
Brunette curls just covering your left eye.
Cigarette hanging off your lip;
Laid back as could be.
You didn’t know I could see your bruises.
The ones you tried to hide.
(I hid mine too)
I was too shy to even speak so I would keep riding by
All the while holding my breath.
(Truthfully
I never thought I was enough for anyone)
Sometimes I remember the kiss.
Just a peck on the cheek but still…….
Do you?
Our kiss.
Combustible
You and I.
Static and ashes.
All that’s left is light
Given by the moon.
You and I
Swept into the other side
Joining the entire celestial cosmos.
Free from gravity
We return
Back where we belong.
Becoming everything
Yet nothing.
Everywhere yet nowhere.
Home.
Ah
But I breathe.
I hear a sigh escape your lips
As you see the colors too.
As you see the wind pulling the leaves from the trees.
They do their final dance for us.
And they return to the
Earth
That nourished them.
Some ride the wind so delicately.
Others seem out of control
As if fighting the pull of gravity.
Ultimately they all fall.
We endure.
I feel the warmth of your skin
As
You move closer.
This knowing between us,
It is time to hold each other.
This sorrow,
We must let it envelope us
If we are to ever love through winter.
First glance
First touch
First Kiss
Didn’t know where it would go.
Last kiss
Last touch
Last glance
Glad I didn’t know.
Come along
With but a whisper.
Traverse this midnight path
In wonder.
Revel
With me in the moonlight.
Let’s go drifting into the night.
Breathe
A
Breath
And place a wish
Upon
My
Lips.
Breathe
A
Breath
Once
More
And leave me with
But
A
Kiss.
I did not mean to do it.
I did not mean to leave
A piece of me with you.
I meant only to kiss you
Once.
