Distance

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

Happy Valentine’s Day! A poem written about her feelings for me. She should know she’s much appreciated and lives in my heart as well. I will let her decide whether or not she wishes to reveal herself.

Here I am.
There you are.
Separated by everything,
and nothing,
for I am drawn to you…
despite the distance.

The succession of days
has spawned
obsessive thoughts .
There isn’t a moment
I’m not thinking of you…
fantasizing about you…
longing for you.

You’re no longer on my mind,
You’re inside it.

I can feel you
without holding you.
I can taste you
without kissing you.
With mere words
you carry me to a place
where imagination and actuality
are becoming deeply intimate.

No one has ever held me
the way you envelope me…
and you’ve never touched me.

No one has seduced me
the way you arouse me
and you’re miles away…

You appeal to my sense of self
and leave me fascinated with not only who you are
but who I am as well…

I already marvel at the man you are
and I’ve never seen you…

Imagine what would happen
If we were ever face to face…[sic]

In Three Parts, 2

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

My desire and thrust were not my only deepening qualities… Your influence over me also caused me to take a closer look at my world and develop a more profound understanding of who I am. You have as much a part in who I am today, as I do you.

I have a fresh view of what I need a woman, my woman, to be. While this view is as incomplete as we were when we got together and set out to be what we have become. Our hearts are together always, though our bodies are far apart.

I remember you admonishing me for my gentleness with you. My goal was not ever to release but to hold on as long as I could.
