Caught in Time





There isn't much that I know about life's truths and laws,
I know too much about its disconnects and flaws,
and suddenly you are here with your harmonious hymns and together we are caught up in spontaneous whims.


After all this time our eyes meet once more,
and all of those memories flood back through my heart's door.

 It all comes back to me, the taste of your lips 
the feeling of my skin between your fingers as you grab my hips,
you kiss my neck and pull me tight
your arms around my body couldn't feel more right.

Your hands on my thighs as you pull off my dress
and I'm floating as you slowly work your way up my breasts.
with a kiss on my neck, our bodies are in sync once again,
I nibble on your lip and we forget all of the past's pain.

It's like no time has passed at all and you still smell the same,
 I breathe you in, I hold my breath, I fear I will lose you again. 
I savor every second of your heartbeat as I lay on your chest.

After all these years without you, a simple glass of wine,
the brush of your leg and a short gaze has stopped time.
I know now that just as the love can run out after a decade together,
there can still be so much love after a decade apart,
and this my dear is the true mystery of the heart.

My  heart needed to be broken, to see what's underneath,
the flicker and flame of a soul, that maybe I am still destined to meet.

 After all these years, seeing you again has set this caged bird free,
and again I need to spread my wings and go in search of finding me,
I shine brighter through the glimmering light of my tears,
and at the end of it all, love will outshine the darkest of years.

The mating of soul

There is something in my core and soul that irresistibly pushes me to connect with you. I thought this was just lust or an attraction grown out of deficiencies in my life. I thought I must be looking for a distraction -but I know now that you are my soulmate. The thing about love is that it sometimes just arrives unexpectedly, like a family member that you have never met suddenly announcing that they are at your front door. You don’t expect him, nor did you invite him over, but while he stands on your porch, there is a strange sense of familiarity that comforts you and so you invite him in for tea. Love sometimes comes with two souls just connecting, the conversation needn’t be consciously profound. It comes with eyes that meet across a room, eyes that speak their own language where the mouth need not take part, a deep feeling of knowing and connection. I feel irrationally and strongly attracted to you and yes this attraction might manifest as or be confused with romantic or sexu...

Twice Unwanted

You said, sometimes people have to fall apart to fall back together. You said this was a matter of the heart. I say, an ex-lover just spun me a great line so he can break my heart for the second time! I thought it was a night of passion for two souls meant to be, I see now that it was just curiosity and you wanting to see, Did you still do it for me and do I still do it for you? You wrote me songs and told me stories, so you could seek out some kind of glory, But the earth never moved, the stars didn't suddenly align We are not two star-crossed lovers able to turn back time. I spend hours crying trying to find the meaning,  watching the clock and my phone and staring at the ceiling, I am back to that little girl you hurt all those years ago, broken and lost, I can still taste my tears from the first time you made me feel worthless and tossed. You never made me feel special, yet I hung on your every word I showered you with af...

Dear Charlie: How did we blow it?

Image
The lines in the mirror, come sharper and clearer.  The credit card cuts both ways, and any note would do, just to blow tomorrows yesterdays- as if I ever knew.  It's hard without you, you always took away the pain with ease. No matter the problem, the right dosage of you would always appease. How did we blow it? If I knew moderation we could still kick it. I yearn to be numb, I yearn to be dumb, but I have taken a vow to leave you behind. without you the pain is intolerable, I'm losing my mind.
