Oh I want to talk to you
from behind the disheveled leaves
that have become my face,
I want to touch you with Venus’s finger,
laugh along side the fireflies
that dance inside your eyes.
For I have become a wandering stranger of late,
unable to find my way home.
Our bed as empty as the moon without a sky,
the oxygen of our love
somewhat quiet these days,
but still resurfacing now and then,
to rekindle the candle that collects dust
in the living room of our history.
Do you remember those long nights
of conversation and bodily passion,
when there were no ghosts to haunt us,
no domestic pressures
to unravel our commitment
to the delicate flower
we planted in the garden
of soft tickles and whispers?
Well, I am ready to renew the dry soil
with the moisture of my loins,
with the singing embrace
that I have forgotten to compose.
So come to me tonight and lets see if we can
reopen Heaven’s gate
and walk through it
with our hands and hearts
unabashedly united.

Thanks Nic . . . I kinda hesitated posting this one, thought maybe it was a little bit sloppy emotionally, almost foreign to the way I scribble most of the time . . .

oh this is a deep sigh, Marc...a sigh all of us who have walked the walk and traveled far in our journeys and our relationships (and our bodies) can relate too. Beautifully written...yes, these sighs are the heart's smiles.
