so much love

plays hide and seek

in the pained strains

of your audio vaulted voice

while your eyes

in pictures vaguely viewed

they manage to somehow keep

their entrancing secrets

but not from me

for very much longer

as I hold the keys

to unlock such illusion's door

so they can not retain such

harmless trickery

in their undeniable depths

quite so completely

anymore

for but one long plane ride

and sixty two counted weeks of waiting

are all that's left

standing a little shakily between us

keeping hands off flesh and form

ah, what a mental luxury

such knowledge is

sweet love alone

falls none too discreetly

at the feet of such notion's design

where

such softly shaken limpid need

need never fully enter into it

since the combination of you and I

will never change............
