The Space Between: FAP #2

There is space between space;
time between time
where all is real
and fantasy.
Perhaps,
you could call it
illusion’s
illusion.
Or even
reality’s
reality
since it is here
where stars become dreams
and dreams become
the stars
giving hope
to the night sky.
It is here
where I first saw you;
dark hair blowing,
brown eyes glimmering
as you rode the comet
leaving pieces of your
words in anguished poems
to float
and smear themselves
across my page.
But in the space
between space,
between the illusion’d reality
of your beating heart,
were words of magic
swinging from chandeliers,
dancing with gypsy abandonments
and filled with jasmine flavor’d excitements.
~~~~
It was tasting this jasmine,
I wanted to,
foolishly
I might add,
hold your hand,
walk with you through a
Springtime park,
kiss you on a sun warmed beach,
dance naked with you 
on the notes
of a Dax Johnson melody.
I wanted to pull you from 
the horrors of 
time between time
and into a safe space.
HA!
Talk about illusion’d illusions.
No one can escape
their space between space.
It defines who they are!
You can only hope
that these spaces-
mine and yours-
touch, overlap
in ways that allow for the time
to know and share
with each other
the magic of chandelier dancing,
of tasting exotic gypsy abandonments,
of holding hands
while smiling into each other’s eyes;
and of savoring
each passion’d kiss.
~~~~
It is only in
recognizing these spaces
that time and space
can disappear;
to say you have loved
and been loved.
And here,
where love can live again.

I can relate to this Redzone in many ways. I find much meaning in these words and understand...if that means anything at all. I really enjoyed this today.

A true work of art, Curt. You meld the physical, meta-physical and the romantic in a very exciting way. Truly great write.

Series of wonderful stanzas, each has their depth and breadth of thoughts. I like the concept of space between space and time between time. You are a very mature poet.. Excellent...:).......
