Sometimes....

There are so many things
I long to say to you.
In those moments
when uncertainty stops my tongue
and silence grows to fill the distance
that separates us,
I quietly whisper them
into my heart.

I say again
how much I love you;
how my very skin
longs to whisper against your skin,
to feel the flame of old desires
rise and leap between us,
melting barriers
until I fall so deeply into you
that no distance or circumstance
can ever separate us
again.

I whisper
"Look at me!"
I 'm the one
who never faltered
down the quiet years,
the long, lonely years
when we walked on different paths.
From wide eyed devotion
through marriages and children,
from back seat fumblings
through passionate illicit afternoons,
from never hearing your name at all
to having it linger
like a secret
on my lips,
all I ever wanted was you.

I want to say
I have loved you
my whole life;
measured every man by you
and found them wanting.
I have no need for other arms,
no desire for another touch
when I lie here in the dark.
It's your name I whisper
into the shadows
when lonliness presses down on me
like poisoned air.
There is no part of me
that does not cry out for you alone;
your arms, your breath, your kiss,
your touch which still undoes me.

Tonight
There are so many things
I long to say to you -
open your heart
and hear me.
