Sometimes
You need
to imagine
Things that
may-never-be
Of people
places
times
Just to have
direction
Through
the confusion

Optimism
Clears away never
leaves you
with may-be

the end

down
dark
denied

tense
tired
terrified

lost
lonely
lacking

hurt
hostile
hiding

feelings
fading
failure

Relationship Question

What does it mean
when I am hurting
and reaching out for a connection
and you are unable to give that to me?
Where is our relationship then?

Closeness memories

I long to be next to you
Body to body
Nothing between us
Free to touch, explore, tantalize
My awareness only of you
And your tender touch
My thoughts only to you
As passions reciprocate
Lost in a timeless experience
