YOUR SECOND RETURNING

Folder: 
JOURNAL #33

I just whisper your name

and before me you appear

I tremble at the mere thought

of your touch

I do this endlessly my dear

your hands devastate my back

with their sure steady brush

something in me breaks apart

at the thought of

you never being near

what have you done to me

this force I can not steer

in my weaker moments

I wonder am I all alone in

what I feel

is the poet in me better at home

when joy is packed out of the way

behind answer less fear

what if what I reveal

scares you away

you could leave this path we

cross upon today

never to look back

or return nor look my way

and I would not be able to find you

you could leave me behind

without a word or thought

yet my soul knows

to do such a deed

you would have to bankrupt your own

need of me

I can't see you deliberately doing this

for to hurt me in such a way

you would have to hurt yourself

far, far

beyond today

eventually you know your thoughts

would betray you

and I , even in my own losing of you

would have won

and winners as you know

always hate to lose

and you, my love are most definitely

a winner

so your second returning gives me

yet more proof

you are indeed my love

and to your heart's way of thinking

I've nothing to worry about nor lose

you've said it to me so, so many times

baby, I'm all yours.................
