Subject: "all night, we talked and ..."

following is another one of my poems ... this one is dedicated to Keith, a
wonderful close friend of mine ... we met, there are thousands of miles
between us but our connection seem to grow closer together as time
progresses.  If you have any comments, please email me ...

... all night, we talked and ...


We're connected ... what does that mean?
	I'm here, you're there ... the distance is great.
It is possible; is it possible to share souls?
	Is it possible to love? ... what is love?
My brain is spinning ... chills through my body
	The vision is brilliant ... the distance?

Ageism is a scourge ... it's everywhere
	Does it really matter ... why?
No games ... openness and honesty .
	Pure relationship, pure love ... pure what?
How do we ... connect, REALLY CONNECT?
	Here ... there?

The vision ... meditate, breath in, focus
	Breath out, release ... again?
Continue ... in breath brings you closer
	Out breath, you smile ... yes?
Meditate ... the connection, I see it
	Our vision is clear ... can I touch you?

A wall slides wide ... you're there ... we walk through
	Fingers touching ... now what?
Bright sunlight, open valley, green
	Breeze, smell, fresh, clean ... why?
A place of calm, beauty, brightness
	A place of love ... love?

We touch ... we touch some more
	Everywhere ... chills ... why?
It can't re real ... I'm here, you're there
	But I can feel ... your touch?
We continue ... words flow between us
	Our paths are mixed ... now sleep?

We drift into the unknown ... we're breathing deeply
	Your mouth opens ... words?
Sleep, sounds drift from your mouth, I draw closer
	We lay face to face ... you whisper?
Are you awake?  You start whispering, some coherent words
	We start ... talking?


I reach out, draw you into me ... I feel your warmth
	I hear your words ... sleep?
My mind moves into and out of reality
	I still hear your words ... why?
I drift off the page, to another world
	And then I hear you ... cry?

I slowly return and see the tears ... I reach out
	Touch, feel, pull you ... closer?
You ask who I am, I tell you my name
	Did it register?  I see anger?
You speak of family, a brother who gave you peace
	His death ... your look?

We lay together and talk ... and cry
	More secrets, more anger?
We share our lives, we lay there
	Touching and talking ... sleep?
It's amazing, we drift, we talk, all night long
	The words flow ... connection?

I awake, where are you, I feel your warmth
	My fingers search ... emptiness?
I see where you laid, I smell your body
	I want you ... disappear?
I can trace your body, I feel your passion
	I ache with fear ... where?

Our vision appears, we reconnect
	Fingers intertwined with passion ... questions?
We speak of union, fantasies being fulfilled
	The newness of love ... anger?
You speak of being a child
	Betrayed and assaulted ... trusting?

We share the pain, being violated
	We tightly hold each other ... and cry?
We know we feel the anger, we know
	The trust was broken, don't tell ... tell?
We need understanding, where do we turn
	Can I trust you, and I ... trust?


We unite in our commonality
	Our secret past, our journey ... our history?
We drift away in unison, whispering
	Holding each other, our eyes close ... the spirits?
The night fades into dawn, rays of newness
	Creep into the sky, beginnings?

I awake, new smiles appear, you fall across me
	We hug each other, no words are necessary
I feel your passion for the first time, but something seems wrong
	Your love is over powering, it engulfs our bodies
It calms our lust and we stand together
	Holding tight, searching for a newness

We find our pathway in the sand, the waves invite us
	To journey into the waters edge
Hand in hand, naked in the new dawn
	We step into the waves in search of a union
The suns rays creep above the horizon, a new day
	A new beginning, a new love, I'm here, you're there,
		the distance is still there
	But we're hand in hand
