it is utterly illuminating
meeting someone like you
you are a coat that has been tried on
but once in the store
but never truly worn
not even for a minute
and of this
you are wholely aware
this makes you wiser than
evolution itself
a physical packaging of emotional expendatures
that never cheated the company of self
there are magnets in your unsuppressable interest in me
that pull the gunmetal of my rigorous pen to your tender
leaning nature
I relish future episodic entwinings between our shared enamored
regards for poetry
mutual mysteries at last unwoven
for a franker sharing of truth
and a finer view of the full essence beneath our worldly masks
that we must wear
I believe
unbeknownst to you
that we walk through this dirty globe alike
two unfathomable journeymen
enjoying the trip far more than the destination
others have only alluded to
a destination deep down inside
that we already know so personally
but just are here now
back tracking
so to better enjoy
the process of getting there
that my friend
in the flesh
of just a poem
is you and I
wind and fog just rolling along
here in lies
that grandiose feeling
of enchanted appeal
de ja vu
only this time its reversed.............
