I miss you
I want to kiss you
I want to feel your palms
caressing my face
I want to see your
soul love in your eyes
and
witness up close
that look of
Oh My God
I am alas here with her
in this very private
so longed for space
I want to be able to look upon you
and or touch you just to prove
to myself you are real
whenever I need that reassurance
and it I want to feel
you've some and yet no idea
of the longing deep within me
that threads those very dreams
so beautifully together
its always been there
like a void deep within
that never grows silent
likely made up of
timeless soul bonds
no doubt
stirred up into age old
desires for a comparable mate
and carried a millennium over
I sought you out
blindly
believing you to be
just another lovely fellow
poet admired
perhaps prior
every time i sought out
another poet to
praise and encourage
I was unknowingly
following that preset path
within me to find you
but it was you who saw me
before I really recognized you
you spoke long before of the veil
that hovered over my eyes
and I suspected you to be harmlessly
insane
a lost man
in short
latching onto any welcome
womanly sight he saw
but the more and more you and your
poems revealed you to me
I realized that was in deed not the case
you passed up and by many
a lovely likely mate to be
in your journey's lonely pace
as if they were faceless pictures to
be dismissed by your specifically
searching eyes
from the beginning you saw yourself
as mine
you were so certain and clear
and we on a path like two colliding
trains
our destinies intertwined
our love a thing not to be undermined
I marvel at this aura that clings to you
you alone animate this
otherworldly love
that I am
so helplessly drawn to
a culmination of
so many longings interwoven
from my past
God has blessed me with a great and many
good and glorious things
but he saved his greatest until the very last
for me
he saved my you
and handed you over
to me through such
the unlikeliest of venues
through the faith laced words
of one small poem
about of all things
him..................................
