Falling Through A Simple World...Part Four

For the first time
I felt that pregnant pause

Softly swelling between us

Worlds apart

With complicated days

Of fight-the-fight

Tumbling thoughts

Of how t'get it right

Speed it up

Or slow it down

Make it so

Before I drown

Simply falling

Our physical distance

Seems so rightly wrong

A sense of you

Simple
 Silently strong

Beneath the surface

Of my thinking

But the very essence

Of my truest feeling

Just breathe

Some time midweek

I escaped outside

Under widening skies

I closed my eyes

Standing alone

My feelings felt unknown

Feet placed upon the ground

Waiting on that wanted sound

Of fulfilling completeness

It didn't come

Stand still

And close your eyes

No more sad sighs

Don't look back

Our growing closeness

Somehow quickly

Expanding 

Small as it is

The distance

Between 
Us
Between 
The weekend

Like bolstering bookends

Propping up the 

Dusty pages

Of the Things we 

Have to do

Then Friday night

That beckoning light

Bringing me back

The stuff and things

That give us rise to share

Discuss some with 

And some without

 Care

Laugh a little 

Laugh a lot

Free to run through

Cobbled streets

Streaked with revitalising rain

A burning sense 

Of being alive again

And once more

I tumble in

Even though
There's no door

Breathless and damp
I'm caught midstep
Your rested hand upon your chin

You ensnare me as

You look up

Hold me still

Your eyes drawing me in

Didn't matter 

That there were no words

Thoughts like ours 

Cannot be heard

We speak our own

Physical touch

Across the wood

Conveys so much

My

Yours

Our

Eyes 

Occasional glance

Would have held us there

If there'd been the chance

Then you mouthed 

Thank you for coming

(Then five times more

Signalled t'was time to go)

Rain

Streets

Cars

Sounds

Blur

Luscious liquids 

Swirling

Swaying

Until

Darkness breathed us in

Warming wraps and familiar folds

Of us

Sunrise
Shapes
Warmth of skin

Kissing curves

Growing heat

Standstill-time

Close my eyes

Just breathe you in

And with each passing day 

One more insecurity melts away

And here we are
Time to share

We're just us

You and me

Two halves 

Of one 

Entirely

Effortlessly

I am here

You have gone

A subtle shift

Another layer

Deeper still

Safe 

To Share

Safe

To be

Safe 

That is you and me

A spoken trust

We've let us in

Deeper still

No longer feeling strangely displaced 

A silvery thread that cannot be traced

It has that tug and has this pull

And brings with it a sense of full

Another day

A vibrant dream

A living life

Another chance

To doormat dance

And whatever it is

That I feel right now

That makes me write

And share somehow

This thing

This sense

This feeling intense

Courses through my heart and mind

Running wild and fearlessly free

It touches me 

Fills me

And

Like the smell of drying rain

I want to experience it

Again and again

This is no ordinary love
