There Is Truth

when i am yours
 and you are mine
 there is truth

when dreams can be touched
and souls combined
there is truth

when love has a flavour
and heartbeats their own world
there, too, is truth

when boundaries fade
all desires fed, fueled, and sated
just to be rekindled
with a contact as simple
as my lover's fingertip along my spine

there,
only there,

is my truth

The words '...fingertips...' and '...spine...' are like gear changes which drive the poem on from the abtraction notions of love and truth, inviting the reader to focus on the attendatn phycail intimacies which give the notions real meaning. You then skip back into the notion of truth. There is a forensic courtroom logic in the progression from abstract to real and back to abstract, save it is done in fine poetry. Most enjoyable. Case proven!

Heartfelt and beautiful, I must say. I loved these lines:
"when dreams can be touched
and souls combined
there is truth"
