Do not look for me in the
confines of -
This.

I dissolve at the end of
your gaze.

Look for me...Here.

With your eyes
closed -

I am darkness that you find.

Reach for me...yet not to hold.

I dissolve at the end of
your fingertips.

Reach for me...Here.

I am this close.

Do not listen to my words.

They dissolve at the end of
my tongue.

Only feel my breath...passing warm against
your ear -

I am this close.

Eric, now this is something else!! I enjoyed it.  

Do you write poetry for your Love? I'll bet
she really likes it. I think I've told you
before, but some of your poetry writing
reminds me of my Love.

Wow! This is so, so loving, so
filled with divine beauty, sublime.
Thank you for the opportunity to read
and feel the essence of your love.

Warmly,
Etain.

Dear Ethel,
I write poetry for my Beloved,
for The Divine,for the Universe,for God, all terms for the same Infinte expression.

I am fortunate...I gaze into the nights sky,
and see The Divine, the Universe smiles through the eyes of a stranger, God calls to me in the whispers of the day,and the  Beloved finds me in the touch of my girl friend. All expressions of the Infinite.

Of course we are all so fortunate as well!
It's in every lovely and loving word you write Ethel. It all comes down to love.
Pretty cool huh?
Love,
Eric
