Walking, talking

Love if and when or maybe then
and see no weight in heart
to stabilize and fortify
formations on the ground
walking, talking, thinking that
no one can see you slip
into the raging sea
of “no one else but me”.

Oh, indeed, I swim and feel
how good the taste of free
but closed to love
I cannot breathe
the air of certainty.

I exit wet, uncomfortable,
need clings and shapes my hair
unbecoming, listless, flat,
until I swim again - and I do,
again, again, again,
for pleasure comforts me
and floats me on the surface
of meaningful pursuits.

But certainty of love one day
overrides and calms dis-ease
and fortifies my resolve
to breathe beneath the sea
while walking, talking, thinking that,
I’m just a human being
and not a form of energy
that remembers
loving you!

Thanks, Maureen. I'm not here much to comment but I do have a few "favourites" that I always read and you are one of them. An opportunity now to send you best wishes for I understand you are confronted with a most unhappy situation. I wish you strength.
