You design a portal transcending space & time…
We’re there together now & then…
& in this Now, I enter…
Your blue, melancholy deep-set eyes await.
Sighs escape as we embrace.

Long I’m held in your long arms
As long my heart has held to hope.
Blood rushes;
Hearts beat faster, stronger.
In our shared presence bodies flush;
Faces blush.
Words catch in our speechless mouths
so we speak through touch
sentiments so long unsaid.
We find a perfect room, a bed.
You sit cross-legged facing me (like so long ago)
Secrets pour through channels that connect our souls
Forevermore.
As hearts collide in breathless bursting,
fireworks of feelings,
curvatures collide
joined by passion
rhythmic motion
our bodies, hearts, and souls are one
in that moment.

Spent
We part with lingering look and touch
Knowing we will meet again
when next the portal opens

Your imperfections fall in all the perfect ways.
My fantasies are memories and memories are fantasies with you.
You set my blood on fire but more—
You’ve been my friend.
My most broken screams have reached your ears.
Because of me, that sharpened boomerang of pain
has gouged your heart at times, and yet…
I know you’ll always care--that’s who you are.
I love being in love with you because
however hopeless the idea of "us" may be,
I still feel more filled with hope when dreaming of you
than when I try to crush this love.
