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 was floating
lanterns
and we briefly were a/part
you still had me
soar...

When we are finally as one,
whole, a hearth warm,
and ****
      those wet silences
      become undulating music
                      the times we demure
our mouths still drinking, singing
instilling lessons
      within depths : the heart's thirst

which only absolute certainty
      calms and quenches...
keep alight and so on, carrying on,
      knowing tomorrow will come
      yet when I'm with you
I am made new,
Even in the dark where
All stars are 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
      waking to life's wonder, then when
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 and 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 you
Lovingly    loving    Love
who fills my very cup
floating in the drink
of us.

(God how I love you.)
