e~the~re~al : extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world
ETHEREAL
A glance, like breath on the air
as the heart stirs…
Brief verbal interludes,
awkwardly enticing words..
Closer, by accident or design
Furtive look, desires entwine
Too close!
I fear….
Come closer,
can you hear
the gentle flutter,
inaudible utter
I want you…
No.
Then I shall go!
Away, away…
unless you say,
“Stay, please…stay“
Where is the wind,
my breath,
my mind,
like death
stops the beating of my heart.
That death should be so soft,
as my soul is born aloft
I stubbornly dispel
the looming threat of hell.
Forbidden?
For hell is heaven
and heaven be
our bodies mingled
in ecstasy!
My name, I do not know;
will you say it
soft and low?
We ne’er may meet again
this way…
Kiss me quick..
and go!!

I know what you mean Dan. Sometimes I feel like an alien in my real time world. When I step onto this arena I find so many like minds and beautiful things to share and learn. It is wonderful in those rare moments where the two can intersect. That’s a real gift. Thank you.
