I spoke to the wind about you
your words came back using the moon
our stream of consciousness
intersected and entered our hearts
your voice was a sigh
around my eyes
I reached out to you
gripped your hair
and gently, but firmly
pulled you to me
there I tasted and consumed
your thoughts
and the sound I made
upon my tongue
were words held back for decades
like a saga for the soul
they tumbled out
when you thought to speak
our lovers' duet we sung to the stars
as we clasped each other
through all those cyberspace miles

"your voice was a sigh
around my eyes"

That sentiment is a poem in and of itself. The sharing of souls is indescribable. I especially liked the image you used with your poem. Very nice Jerry

Great expression of that far away love
feeling closer as you brought it to you and us in this poem

Another gem, Jerry....this fairly shimmers with warmth and meaning! I've been away, and it's neat to come back and read how your poetry has changed....there is a softness, a happiness, a contentented..peace, in your words. Am so happy for you!

Best,
Amaryllis

Thank you, Amaryllis, and you are absolutely right, I have had my feelings regenerated I guess you could say. I still slip back to the dark every so often, but even then the dark seems to come out more tannish than dark-dark. Haha

Your poem is simply soulful, Jerry and the emotions you've described are palpable to my way of thinking. Very nicely written.
