Currents

curtains,
sheer in the
delicate of
their lace,
casting shadows
on your face,
I see your
reach,
feeling the
breach of what
I cannot
understand
but all I know
is that I want
to have the
hold of your
hand
in
mine...

breaching...

the call of one to one
in waters deep, love’s
begun to break the swale
in rippled echo from whale to whale


aching
is this inner
fire
knowing not
what would
quench
desires
unnamed...

breaching...

I would pass
beyond that curtained
veil
if I thought you
would hail me in….

the call of one to one
in waters deep, love’s
begun to break the swale
echoes sing from whale to whale


perhaps it is
just nature’s tide
warm emotions
that I ride
or mayhap the
salted air
that tells me
I should dare

but curtained back
beyond refrain
is the call
of your name

calling of one to one
in waters deep, love’s begun
to break across the swale
as the she calls to the male

Wonderful piece! Such feeling.  How could any male let this call go unheeded?
Fabulous write!

the whole thing is incredible, but I just love that....it is so hard to explain, that feeling of holding hands, but the way you put it, it need not be explained, it just is.
