this love

can it be as lightening
quick and striking
that changed my world
to more my liking

or was it like waiting
the constant baiting
of warm spring days
as we begun mating

whether swift or measured
this love is treasured
a deeply coveted passion
leaving me whole and pleasured.

cease fire

eyes half closed
the mind stops
for a moment
a black quiet screen
silently offering it's permission
to pause life
until the finger applies pressure
to the remote, turning the channel
to reveal the never-ending chain of events
the continuous movement
the revolving world
it's the world of 24-hour news coverage
it's the world of abundance
it's the world of after-school activities
and over-achievers
cease fire!
my finger on the button
i choose "power off".

anticipation

wet, soft rain
tickles my skin
the day has only begun
yet 24 hours until tomorrow
seems like a month
i count in my head
the hours left remaining
until we touch
62 hours
my heart races
when did our eyes last meet?
when did we breathe the same air?
i want to hold your face
in my hands
and explored your mouth
with my tongue
i've had months of longing
months of aching
months of anticipating
you.

at the open fields of mind

May I kiss you
Over the seas
Across the land
Under the stars
May I?

May I kiss you
On Summer and Winter
Under the sunlight
Against the rain drops
Will you let me?
May I kiss you
And hold you
Keep you warm and safe
Inside my arms
Close to my heart
When it's snowing hard?

Let me look at you in the dark
Color your face with a smile
When the world turns white
And bring you the sun inside me
While you're staring at the stars,
Will you?

Many miles
Many journeys
I know I can't reach you
But maybe
Under the stars
At the plan open fields
Of mind lands
One day
If I find you
I can ask again
Dear heart
May I kiss you?
