Once...
in a longing while, we greet another soul,

with recognition and gentle mutual understanding,

a yet unexplored tenderness, already filled to the brim

and overflowing, with curiosity, care, happiness,

and gentle, warm, listening intimacy,

enfolding natural togetherness,

when attraction draws near, we move closer still

love lets us stay, untouched

*

Will you bring, with your passion,

your memories of me?

With what voice will you tell,

the words you know so well?

And will the remembrance in the air, bring moments of peace,

that shelters and sings, a heart full of strings?

And will your dancing steps, gather notes of opportune,

sweet sensitivity and grace, intensity and pride,
in our moments of need?

*

With written words in memory, still remembered,
are your voice, careful approach, lust and desire,
mingling close, for joy and pleasure,
my beloved, so much more cherished,
for her  great unwavering and dignified integrity.

*

And I see fire... in our wake,
burning cinders, sparkles, shines,
stars against the winter night,
shimmering notes of cause and reflect,
of heated bodies, still craving closure ,

bereft of air, resounds in echoing exaltation,

thundering cascades of laughter,
will for ever be, our legacy  - to each other
we bring joy and harmony
