I don't want more than you have given me,
for we wouldn't be what we have become if you had,
even if you could, likewise we both know that we can't. You are the whole of my collection arranged in the shape of my heart, filling the void, that which I have learned to live with and without. I don't shine without your polish, at the same time I am not tarnished without you. I want to believe you are there without a doubt when I teeter at the edge of myself. You are the hollow sound that echo's in my private chambers, a constant beat keeping rhythm with me. I've emptied the secrets of myself into you, a place that you've touched and I hope you can feel. Yet I am not empty, nor am I incomplete without you, for I've arranged you in keeping, just so.

Thank you EagleOne,
I appreciate your comments.
Obviously I need to familiarize
myself with the center button,
or I can play it safe and stay
to the left of the page.

Don't mind me, I was just
pretending to know what I was
doing when I didn't.

Thank you for the warm welcome qtpie!
It takes me awhile to get comfortable,
but I certainly enjoy the variety
at passions.  I'm glad you enjoyed
what I wrote.

Thank you so much for reading Sandra. At times I am left with a sense of regret when I make my feelings known. It's almost like a game of charades and perhaps I should have kept quiet.

Enjoyed your words *s, when posting just copy and paste what you have in word or wordpad, it will stay that format.

If typing directly here you must hit enter to make it go to the next line, if you want and only click center if you want everything centered but you still have to hit enter for your line breaks. You will get use to it. and Welcome

Thanks a bunch! So often I choose my favorite phrases when commenting on another person's poetry, and I'm happy you chose yours. It is that part of me, in the very heart of me that makes me feel whole.
(most of the time) Thank you Cherish for welcoming me in the nicest way.

Lori,
You started in dark?

I had no idea. But I do like how you began on these blue pages. Excellent write. The more things chang the more they stay the same.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

This is a great read and I was so glad that it was bumped to the top again so that I didn't miss it. This sounds like a perfect description of what intimacy should be.
