with the standard breathing room
of 20 inches
you enter my space

eclipsing my heart
with a grin

and in my mind I see us dancing
holding hands in the rain
laughing on sundays

kissing under midnight

all facts all figures
all dreams
belong to you

I wonder- do you know the power you wield?

closer to you
now
(more than anyone else)
I still sit outside your proximity
and still wait
for the line to be crossed.

------------------
And I thought: this is how poetry is born. It comes from invisible heights, it is secret and dark in its origins, solitary and fragrant, and like the river it will assimilate whatever falls in its current; it will seek a route between the mountains, and its crystalline song will ripple through the meadows."- Pablo Neruda
