A Collaboration of Two Hearts

A collaboration by Mark and Neva Flores-Cbangefulstorm

I paint pictures in my mind with your smile and your voice, 
Always hungering and wondering what you paint in yours.
I have a feeling that your thoughts beckon my own,  
turn my resolve into a burning  liquid even the sun has to adore.

When the Sun has gone, and thoughts turn to sleep, 
this man dreams in colors drowning me in the sea of your woman's heart.
Still, here I am crying out in a voice full of fight afraid to look into your eyes 
as my heart could be destroyed, my world torn apart. 

I lay still trying to obey the face of time, to let go soothing trickles of reassurance 
in shimmering beams given from the Moon.
While we both use words when our eyes are not closed, mine are complex 
and yours easy to hold..dropped from different hearts, yet in tune.

It is enough, holding this dream for now. With eyes, hands, and hearts unfurling, 
slowly opening through barriers erected from the destruction past.
I believe in these two hearts that are beating as they write about love differently.
Today I will take down those barriers, just don't enter too fast.
