Somehow lifeless machinery
Defeats the odds, comes alive
Four thousand miles of fiber optics
Melt into flesh to become human
Two hearts, two halves of one soul
Destined to be together
Sharing laughter, a conversation
The tension breaks, we relax
Spontaneous reactions
Voices tremble and grow soft
Another level fades into oblivion
Invisible hands touching
Reaching across time and distance
As if they did not exist
Making love with words
Phrases bleeding into feelings
Emotions overwhelm and consume
Eyes close to fantasy
Desire awakens and explodes
Into a joining of spirits
Flames rise yet do not burn
Breath and heartbeats rage
The first brush with passion
So vivid, so real
Were we together in some other place?
Whispers haunting into distracting memories
Moments etched into yearning minds
Born of imagination
And love which can not be defined by words
Destroyed by obsticles or observers
Or denied by fate...
- L.C., 2001, revised 2008 (But then... it all comes together, and we meet... we exchange vows... we spend the rest of our lives together... as one.)
