The Truth You Taste

When you look at me,
can you hear thunder when I talk
with eyes that watch you taste
a million waves of truth
whispering what I want?
Does it feel like rain
falls upon your heartbeat
like an old friend
and trusted confidant?

It has been said that nothing
can ever be
as elusive as one's thoughts
when you drink in their existence
inside your heart.
All your fears graze your memories
and you lose yourself
on the edge of not knowing
your remotest parts.

Do you treasure beautiful skies
when midnight sits
upon the bridge
that has hidden your lips
from my own
too many times?
Or know that I can see you
growing weary
of the depth of feeling
embracing your heart
inside my rhymes?

There is nothing I could change
if I carried what I want
all alone.
So please forgive me
if you hear thunder when I talk
with eyes that feel like rain
upon your heartbeat,
know day after day,
the truth you taste,
is love's own.

Do you ever feel that your distant love grows tired of only reading rhymes? Do you think perhaps they want to kiss your lips instead of read your words of love? I think we can only do what we can and apologize.

Exquisite writing!

I have often wondered if my ramblings should be kept to myself rather than posted for all to read. I don't know if a love chooses to read them - or not... so I share. It is a choice to ignore my poetry, or to read it. If they're being read by a particular distant love... I don't know, but if so - I hope they don't cause heartache but a knowledge that they are cared for and cherished - always.

Very touching. You touch on the truth of relationship in a very humble and intimate way. Sweet.
