Who were we before this
touch?

Once traced to memory...will we hold
forever the lines of our
embrace?

Let my arms forget you.

Enter me new in every moment...merging in the
emptiness of before.

And only then remember.

Who were we before this
touch?

Or did I exist at all? *S*

Others describe relationships... you give us the essence of why they are. *S* Beautiful!

nicely put, as always Eric because it is often touch that speaks much more clearly than words can even allow.

Merging and remembering ...


Time is not an issue

nor is distance.

Like the stars

adorning the sky

you adorn me

with sparks of you.

There is no before

when every breath

brings more.

Reading your words is always a new pleasure even after reading many times hundreds of your gems, dear Eric. Your poems are alive and pulsing with beauty.

I love you.
Margherita
