The Things Not Said

The Things Not Said

 

I think of times when
We were close
The things we shared
And loved the most 
Where our conversations
took a path
When a glass of wine
would make us laugh
Sharing kisses deep
From within our hearts
We could dream a future
and all its parts...

We talked back then
but not enough
There was always something
Not-said
That made things rough...

We knew it then
but neither said
We'd both lay silently on our quilted-bed...

We knew it,
and
We sensed...
woven
In our conversation
Was this fence...
You on your side
Me on mine,
It really just came down to
How much time?

Before we grew a part...

I still think about you quite a lot
I know there's things that we forgot
Like why we let things build-up
And never talked...
Why our friendship slipped away
Why we stayed together but never played
We loved to talk and laugh out loud
But then the darkness of the cloud
Stole our intimacy with nothing left
Our hellos and our goodbyes
Another theft,

That made us grow a part...

But when I look back
I think this is true
We let the robber steal
from Me and You
What could have been and never was
That fence existed
Simply-Because
We built it...
And kept it there...
A misunderstanding
That we no-longer cared
With frustration mistrust and things not said
Wrong ideas floating in our heads
Ideas that never saw the light-of-day
So lies and rumor deepened more dismay
We bought these lies
And with that, grief
Strangled by our own disbelief
That we could ever end up like this
"Not us we said..." when we both kissed
Nothing Ever
Could come between
Except those things not ever seen
We exposed the robber and it was us
We invented our own mistrust,
Our love it ended way before our bed
extinguish by,

The things not said...

To Touch Again

To Touch Again

 

Is it asking way too much
To start where we began?
So I can hold you near,

And touch you once again...

I see you in my dreams
I feel you in my heart
I long to touch your skin

And hold you once again...

It sends a shimmer,
Down through my spine
Like the so-soft-velvety-feel
Of a good expensive wine
On my tongue...
Swirling with your kiss
There's this special feeling
That I miss,
Struggling with the pull
Of the gravity from your heart
It aches when we're a part
My day it never-really-starts
Without a lingering thought of you...

It's a missingness in my soul
Sometimes I don't even-really-know,
If we'll ever embrace again,
But I know my heart it counts down
When
We might or
Hope we will
And with that will
A chill,
That races to my heart
Igniting sparks inside-my-mind
This time round let's spend more time
With each other...
to Discover...
And forget about the things that
Tore us down
Instead let's make a sound
Like-fire-crackling on a Winter night
Where warm with passion we hold
Each other tight
And get lost in the flicker-of-the-flames
When
Making love
We whisper
each others names
And fall asleep
Dreaming as our souls
they blend...

 To touch each other once again...
