well just

 funny

I was just thinking
how interwoven we were
when you were no more than
spiritual smoke
I inhaled into my soul
as the embers of you
burned slow and deliberate inside me
down to a soft dark soothing rich soot
I bathed my entire essence in
making me “far too beautiful”
and appearing “imaginary”
remember?
nothing pressed against our bones
which allowed our love to push itself through our veins
and flow freely
so we together could traverse any situation
just by thinking of the other
and the air’s aroma was fresher and sweeter
when the wind skipped through the leaves
because we could feel our tether strengthening
it was so easy then
to soul communicate through
your voice
and my vibe
not letting the distraction of others
deter us from doing what comes natural

This is Love, too.

not letting the distraction of others
deter us from doing what comes natural
allowing our passion to express itself through compassion
on the phone from late night thru early morning hours
excited to languish in each other’s breath
as we both smudged our respective phones with silence
and/or sounds of delight from our elated voices
which always dripped with desire
and soulful bonding brought about through
the way Him songs perched atop She soul
and She New York accented dialect recited
to Him soul as the purest form of poetry
connecting them deeper spiritually
for all eternity

yes darling
this is what I remember
