Into the Knowing

@Uootem

The moment seemed to have lingered just for us
all set to restore slices of a seemingly irretrievable past
into the knowing... through the mystical language
lost lovers have spoken throughout the ages.
one word at a time, each phrase unlocking new emotions
as they confirm the promises once made in youth.
words that have been delegated to the task of the poet
through all the years of silence...

your eyes, windows to a part of you I understand
like points of light in the darkness of finally dissipating regret
becoming misty with belief when I tell you all the things
you need to know about yourself... about 'us'
and did not think you would hear again.
i am captured by exquisite awe
entering realms previously unknown, yet strangely familiar
as if reliving dreams and possibilities that had been merely hopes.

your body, a field of idolized enchantment
each curve, so pleasurable to the touch
as my hands trace words on your skin
like invisible braille only love-blinded me can read.
you arch your back... a passioned proclamation
affirming the consummation of our renewed conjugality
and then, a smile to last a lifetime of memories
and a look that seems to inquire "where have you been all my life".

Your love-moistened responses clinging to my fingers
a fragrance lingering hours...confirming the event just shared
as you rekindle the fire within me, cradle another explosion
while remnants of sweet surrender glisten on your thumb
I have fallen into you... into the wanting this never to end.
a moment of alliance that binds our hearts finally forever
and then, another kiss to last a lifetime of memories
and a look that seems to inquire "where have you been all my life".
