Sparking a slender smoke-
I puff in lady-likened O's...
Nervy you, inside my sway-
you've been here,before today.
Our dance was dark
in passion's arms,
youth's long years ago-
tip-toeing toward a soul-slide
...when you were but my own.

We forced cuervo to a sunrise
between nothing but our skin-
I crowned my heart-pound worthy
won't ever blend like that again.
My tongue can't forget the taste
of my kiss inside your mouth,
both of us, in sweetest
midnight wake-and-pounce.

Soft toe-press now, on shaded earth...
I'll meet you there in dream-
you humble me, with eyes destined
to see past every tree.
In slow cadence, re-tasting lips-
I ne'er again thought to sip...
Can you hear your voice
caress my sighs-
as you did long ago?

Still bold mesh and flutters,
for you-
fast under this heart,
we slipped soft into soul-slide then
and ended miles apart.

Older now, that pull still tugs-
my always-more-than friend,
A'feared to lose your life-shine twice
I tread slow on door's Begin.
Still
emotions not feigned,
are destined
to remain.
and I remember...
every. thing.


Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

What a touching and lovely remembrance of a love which still exist although not physically as before. You meshed your words superbly, Tanya. Read it twice. Will read it again.

I could visualize this whole piece.  I could feel the passions from the past, and the timidity, from where you seem precariously balanced, facing the future.  Remembering everything, that can be a double-edged sword.  Some things do get better with time.
