Some Heartfelt Thoughts.

Some heartfelt thoughts

Would that you and I
were not
as fate decreed
just two lost souls
life left to wander
all these many years
without the joys of
our fingers intwined
our lips shared
as one
in liquid blends
of taste, and touch
and whispered words
bringing
heartfelt thoughts
with nothing
-between-
us both
but patterned cloth
and pockets of air.

 

Would that

we had known
each others selves
as well as we
have memorized
the lines of
our faces
as well as we know
maps of our flesh
like the
girl next door
and the guy who she
played house with
their first and only
true love,
instead of those
paths of pain
on which we
have both embarked
over the years
even without regrets.

 
Would that you
could hold me
curled in your fingers
and squeeze me
like a handshake
between closest friends
familiar and warm,
as you watched
the flames of passion
blazing brightly
under the lids of my
half-closed eyes,
as you felt the stirring
of the flesh
that hardens
during one of
life's most
tender of moments.

 

Would that

I could
wet your lips
in stereo places
and make your breath
catch
like the
gasp of a newborn
as it's
realizing life
with all it's potential
smiling as you cry out
with joy at
our joint discovery
.
It's thoughts like these
that keep the embers
glowing in the
caverns of my heart
and it's knowing
that we could together
share a match
that makes the spark
to feed the flames
and quench the cold
that grips our lifes
without what would
what could have been
if we had not
as fate decreed
been two lost souls
apart.
