To take shelter in my life
My desire for you knows no reason
Or restraint
It is fueled
By every word, every thought
Every feeling that passes between us
Only you
A ghost of the living
Could have broken through the walls
Surrounding me
Rekindling the need to love again
Like water
You took the necessary shape
To fill every empty space within me
Like stone
Your presence can not be moved
You shift with me
So that I am never without you
In whole or in part
Like air
You surround and embrace me
Keeping me warm and alive
Your spirit breathes within me
Our hearts beat in unison
My soul as one with yours
So much closer than skin
But so achingly far away
I am haunted by your voice
Inspired by your words
Too many miles separate our bodies
Technology and a bond beyond all imagination
Give us contact
So much pleasure in this pain
We are bound by more than love
- L.C., 2002, revised 2008 (I can't wait for you to be here in more than just spirit, my lover...)
