A strange encounter

Walking down the corridor of endless feel, sight, sound,
life steps in and orchestrates another destination
and I turn into the challenge of a different soul
brought up from the depths of a stranger’s eyes.

From there the clarity of the best I can remember
tells of pay-back time for the feelings you inspired
and his soul first hazy sharpens into the needy me
so long ago entwined in the tendrils of desire.

I would ask what reward for dealing to the numb
the kindling that ignites an internal fire
but the healer in me knows loving cleanses soul
and rejuvenates the mind.

I reach but retreat deaf to nerve endings
screaming for release from self imposed denial
and so the chasm widens to allow the drop and crash
of a known pre-science into imagination.

‘Tis the storm of passion ne’er the less
that bursts within the psyche, see
and dots and spots a stranger’s hands, smile, eyes,
with the feel, the dream, of you and me!

Hi, Honey!

"the healer in me knows loving cleanses soul
and rejuvenates the mind."

~ I also love the dreamer in you!

Thanks "guys"! Ah, the dreamer - and within the dream all things are known and yet not known.
