Remember when
every touch
      with all its intention
was a kindness
      Tender like our lips
      at first kiss,
deeply
in one another's eyes

      seeing with feelings
      discovery past the weight
      of fevered flesh,

a dervish flight
through those walls
      layered with doubts as heavy
      as the stones
we now turn our hearts into...

Remember when
every word
      was lovingly spoken

uplifting wisdom
like feathers, wings:
      the soft music of our mouths

      when life is floating
lanterns
and we briefly are a/part
you still have me
soar...

And when we're finally whole, as one,
a hearth warm,
and ****

      those wet silences
      become undulating music
                      the times we demure
our mouths still drinking, singing
instilling lessons
      within these depths : our heart's thirst

which only absolute certainty
      calms and quenches...

...keep alight and so on
Keep carrying on
      knowing tomorrow will come
      yes, when I'm with you
I am new,
even in the dark

A star is born...

Remember when
in the break of morning
      when eyes open from trenchant sleep
      (better than adrift or hollow)
remember how
stunning the view
      inhale surprised
      to waking life's wonder,
Coming
a/part as the wars pain and riot

Fearlessly I say
                depart and drink the rain
         freedom love
sky and eyes
         will awake...

And if we have yet to meet
since I know
      Truth &
Believe in
      Love,
when I fall for you
      Thank all the heavens, vast
I fell for you
                              I will fall up...

Because I remember
now
it's always you
      Lovely      loving       love
who fills my very cup
floating in the drink
of us...

*(God how I love you.)
