     And desire is the spark
     Of the Infinte.

     The desire of a kiss
     Is the meeting of
     Lips -
     And what passes unseen before
     Closed eyes.

     And the desire of an echo
     As it fades from sound
     To nothingness -
     Is
     Nothingness.

     The desire of a slow
     Burning star -
     Is light upon light as it
     Meets you and I.

     The desire of the moon
     Is the pull to our
     Blood -
     As we rise full
     Within
     The
     Night.

     The desire of the sun
     Is to simply
     Touch.

     And the desire of you and I -
     Is the kiss,
     It is the fade to
     Nothingness,
     It is the slow burn
     And the rise of our blood,
     It is the touch...it is all of this
     And more.

Now, see...

I love to begin poetic lines
with "and" even though
my English teacher would surely
turn over in her grave if she
were in one...

it just brings you right back
into a frame of mind that you did not
even know you were in...

just like...

ellipses...

you've got to cut this out.  I may have to become your number 1 fan...

Aaaaahhh... I so love this poem.  So much love and beauty overflowing from each word... so strong and sweet you can taste it.

You truly amaze me.  You are blessed, and we are blessed that you share your sacred gift.

Beautiful...

Thank you...
