In the silence

Of my making

I have found

My own thoughts

That comfort me

All is quiet

Except for breath

And my heart

And my memories

Making me smile

Once in forever

Something is struck

Breeze on chime

Hammer on anvil

Pressure on coal

Asteroid on planet

And something happens

That’s so cataclysmic

That’s so defining

That it changes

Absolutely everything else

That’s what I

Felt when you

Shared your story

About that kiss

Oh that kiss

That one kiss

That kiss that

Did redefine everything

Oh I suppose

I touch some

Maybe ten percent

Sounds like alot

But if the

World was a

Room I’m that

Dustbunny over there

The only way

To achieve Intimacy

Is by adding

Trust with truthfulness

This exposes us

To a diverse

Number of intimacies

Any other equation

Besides that one

Leaves one fractionalized

And not whole

Like almost everything

Else ever imagined

You did appear

As something grand

Much too large

To understand then

At first glance

So I sat

And simply gazed

At you studying

As one does

With a Ruben

Or a Seurat

Piece by piece

By peaceful piece

Until I understood

That somethings aren’t

Meant to be

Mine but rather

Only ever known

From a distance

Thereby letting you

Go to be

A masterpiece to

Someone that can

Display your beauty

In a hall

Grander than mine
