This is how we love.

In distance...we dance in the
greater space of our
belonging.

There are no drawn lines to
show us where we part.

Only the eyes may be deceived.

The sightless dream intimate
colors to the dark.

Tell me we are far...and I will reach
with closed eyes and breathe
you near.

This is how we love.

In distance...we simply
dance.

Eric

May there never be any lines
to detract from what
is important.

Well done, Sir.  Very well done.

Eric, this is exactly the way my Love and I  feel,
until I start having my pity parties and
get depressed.

If you can do it that way, and make it feel so real...it must be beautiful, like this poem!

Life stirs in my heart
when you breathe me near.
On the screen of my mind
your beauty manifests
and I am aware of being,
I am new, I am you.
We sail through space
on the currents of
our breath of love.
Higher and higher
we dance,
closer than ever
to where we belong.


Thank you dear Eric, your beauty inspires.
I love you, Margherita

This is simply breathtaking~

'Tell me we are far...and I will reach
with closed eyes and breathe
you near.'

I found out the hard way love doesn't know boundries. Oceans divide, and still the heart can feel every joy, pain, compassion, empathathetic nudge as if they were right there standing in front of you. I understand this write.
Love,
