Disappearing Tricks

The one time in-between
him and him
there was Al

he treated the times
of dark
like silk and lady

calmed the storm
warmed the cool
collected the soul

after awhile there was
some lovemaking
calm
cool
collected
nice

he knew how to silk the lady

a picnic gave us a day
in the sun
he feel asleep that afternoon
during the game

I sat by
reading quietly
firemen need their rest
when they can get it

when he woke,
looked around, he smiled
his sleep warm filled the room

he thought he should go
and he did

much, much later

after months of quiet
he called

just to say hi.

He said he got scared
I was too comfortable
to know

he wasn’t sure what to do next
so he disappeared

I did not know what he meant
until now

you are that comfortable
even though you
talk of the road
just beyond
us

the one you go alone

you are that comfortable
with deep hugs
that leave
fingertip prints behind

you are that magic
that he was not
the one that makes me
squirm in anticipation

and hunger for the
moments

the ones that take me
to an edge
I didn't know I had
in my curve

when you find
the secrets I didn't even
know I had
stored away

you are that comfortable
but I won’t leave
until you tell me
to do so…

then it will be
my time to
be Al

the seams
of some when they join
but don't join

when they just go along together
those are seams of comfort

And what in the fearsongs call
comfortable as anything
but turning aside
from real lifes
living in challenge
seeks comfort in being
comfort in knowing
seeks nothing but extending
a Golden touch
for not all things are
a competition of conquest
in striving some
simply fit
gift of
being
self

An obviously inspring read.
Merci

When your own emptiness is all thats getting through
