we share such incredible
'Cerebral Pleasures'
where mutual dreams once only
partially realized
now dance openly
almost wantonly
between our buzzing connected minds
I find that I am so very loathe
to give up such titillating treasures
he's confiscated my precious Zen
the back seat has never looked so very
appealing as it does in this captured
moment
such sweet blazing brown eyes
never had such power before
to woo my eclectic senses
gladness slips a clever mickey to my
thoughts
clarity toasts the lightning newness of
such fervent feelings
I am drunk on the man's mind
enamored of his venerate voice as he
speaks my name
besotted by his former reserve and
utterly enchanted with his willingness
to allow me to bathe with him in his
unique life's experience
I feel so wholely blessed in an
otherwise most cursing moment
I am finally tasting a little of what
was very well likely meant to be
our prayed for crossing of paths
a spiritual recognition if you will
jars me so sweetly from my previous
death like slumber
touch me more with your great emotional
wealth of words
I not so silently beg
caress my hungry poet's soul
with the frank and open tenderness of your
complete candor
let me see for myself the numerous gouges
and scars slashed upon your dear sad heart
allow me the chance to feel the galloping
rhythm of its brave graceful beat
as I so yearn to touch its slowly healing
wounds with the warm enveloping balm and
sincerity of my heart's own live on in the
knowledge
that the magic yet touched lies within our
combined ability to effortlessly one day
merge
and that I await for the smallest of signs
from you of your own freely given emotional
acquiesce...................
