Where We Belong Today We are finally where we belong. We've found that time can heal some wounds. And in this moment we can reach past the years that lay like shadows between us. This feeling Of your skin against mine is all that I remember - All that I have dreamed since you came back with eyes and heart wide open. Wrapped In ribbons of arms and legs We present ourselves a gift, one to the other. Our loving in this moment is a kind of forgiveness in itself. We are Beyond communicating voice -to-ear, The words we exchange mouth- to mouth are far more honest; Quiet murmurs belly-to-belly can tell us more than a thousand written pages. Past And future dissolve away When tongue meets tongue in passionate search. We swallow the present in hungry mouthfuls, Catching every careless crumb to lick the moment clean. Conversation Becomes music in motion, a body symphony orchestrated by lusty tongues and limbs. Love is the conductor And we can hear our hearts beating like grateful applause in our ears. Passion Builds to its inevitable climax And in that moment there is no conversation, no music - There is only the gift laid bare, just the two of us and peace. 1985/2002 |

Can't tell you how much this one touched me. 5 months ago I found (or he found me) someone I knew 13yrs before.. And this time...everything is right.  I loved how you wrote it. "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |
