Red Balloon (Desire)

Remember when

every touch

      with all its intention

a kindness

      Tender like our lips

      at first kiss,

deeply

in one another's eyes

      seeing with feelings

      discovery past the weight

      of fevered flesh,

a dervish flight

through those walls

      layered with doubts as heavy

      as the stones

we now turn our hearts into...

Remember when

every word

      was lovingly spoken

uplifting wisdom

like feathers, wings:

      the soft music of our mouths

      when life is floating

lanterns

and we briefly are a/part

you have me

     

soar...

And when we're as one

whole, a hearth warm,

and nude

      those wet silences

      of the undulating music

                      times we demure

our mouths still drinking, singing

instilling lessons

      within depths / the heart's thirst

which only absolute certainty

      calms and quenches...

keeps alight and so on

carrying on

      knowing tomorrow will come

      yet when with you I am new...

even in the dark

a star shines

Remember when

in the break of morning

      when eyes open from trenchant sleep

      (better than adrift or hollow)

remember how stunning the view

      inhale surprise waking life's wonder

even a/part the wars pain and riot

fearlessly I say

                depart and drink

the rain

         freedom love

sky and eyes

will awake...

        

And if we have yet to meet

since I know

      Truth and believe in Love,

when I fall for you

      Thank all the heavens, vast

I fell for you

      I will fall up...

Because I remember

now

it's you

      Lovely loving love

who fills my very cup

floating in the drink

of us.

(God how I love you.)

I'm left breathless by this. I love how each line is a fragmented thought, flowing into the next as if overwhelmed by the moment. Each line is like a breath. This poem is simply beautiful.
