No time ever came more true
than when I first saw you clear.
It couldn't be the steps I take
that bring me so near you, I stop
to catch my breath from the vision.
The strength of your heartbeat
permeates my dreams and interupts
my thoughts with daily regularity.
For it is only in my minds eyes that
your avatar exists. But, in truth, I
have only the sound, smell, taste, and touch of you.
That recall can connect to the DreamWeaver
entity that you are.
Come into my parlour and let me adore you
properly (though not like property) and in
ways that excite and ignite as we unite.
For as I traverse my world, I pray for your
tenderness and guiding touch at your elbow
to see me through just one more night without you near.
In reality, you exist. But, to clearly see
you, my mind's eye must be unshaded.
That is the price that allows the unseeing to
see most readily and with absolute, but tender, clarity.
Thank you Joe for sharing this poem with me yesterday. Once again you have moved me to tears as I read the words you spoke. And then for your sharing with me the thoughts, feelings and inspirations behind these words that you have so eloquently expressed and put to paper! My heart resides so near and yet at times so far from view.
You, Joe are indeed an exceptional and gifted Man!!
