Exquisite intimacy

 

I’m feeling you in me,

For I’m never away,

Never really left,

Always watching you in me,

The tornadoes of your being

heave, dance and sing,

On your waves I’m surfing,

You too surfing on the

tidal waves in my heart

like a majestic queen,

All these ripples created by

the exciting uncertainty

of our undefined, free relationship.

 

You are all spirit

and float in air,

I’m all matter,

running on the ground

to catch your shadow,

You’re the air that doesn’t stop,

Holding your balance through

tantalizing misbalances,

But I’m a poet

and I can keep the shadows of air

in my heart like real things.

 

Your spirit has to

see the matter

as a milestone on your path,

While the matter has to

hold onto colorful dreams

to rise to a higher dimension.

 

A poet is a labyrinth,

Wherein only

an unchained spirit like you

can dare to get in.

 

When I want you,

This itself is my fulfillment,

The distances melt

when I feel

how close you are,

Time stops

when I know here you are,

Right here in my heart.
