How it Feels to Me

Moments...
they flee like the water from the sand
thoughts...
they roll along like the waves
crashing on the mind
But you...you are
twice as eternal as the sea
twice as mysterious
twice as beautiful...

What would I do
to hold you to me
with all my strength?
What would I do
to kiss you gently
as I press you to me?
Would my heart beat
so strongly against your chest
as if wanting to meld with yours
in a blinding flash of red?

Could I...
reach out to you with my arms?
pull you through the sky
on wings made of gold?
rise up with you on
a lift made of foam
that would leave us
stranded with each other?

Would I...
skate on that feeling
letting my head fall back
in a great billowing laugh?
disregard all others
when looking in your eyes
or laying naked beside you
with nothing to hide?

Want me...
I touch your lips with mine
a soft brush that accounts
for absolutely nothing.
until that electric excitement
hits me like that powerful wave
not of thought but of pure
and wild emotion. One that
would course through my veins
to light my nerves on fire.

I could cry now...
I miss your shadow and
your dark presence.
How you smell... I miss you
when your gone...
I want them both by me.
I don't know why.

But...
is that really so bad?
to want something without reason,
to love something without reason:
only needing to know in my heart
that you loved me first.

That's all the reason I need.
That's all I really want.
Just you and your arms...
Just you and your heart...
Just you and your kiss...
Just...you...
