i overheard a conversation,

a day or two ago –

it seems myself was

unhappy with me –

i turned and quickly walked away

without offering my opinion.

not my battle –

not my war,

at least not on that day…

looking back,

now,

i have to wonder –

the outcome of the confrontation.

insignificant,

i suppose –

as i am still the same me,

and i feel myself,

still very much alive…

My friend – you touch me deeper than the sun,

And every smile you smile fills up my soul!

With you it matters not what I have done,

For all my dreams, you’ve taken and made whole!

Before your touch my life was closing fast,

But then you came and opened up the door.

Now all my insecurities have passed,

I’ve found with you a life, and so much more!

You’ve brought the sun, and rolled the clouds away,

And I can see new hopes and dreams ahead.

I’ll never wonder what to do or say,

Because with you, all thanks can go unsaid!

If I had one small gift to give to you –

to find in me – what I have found in you!

into this world we’re born –

craving affection –

warm caress,

open arms,

love…

and as we walk along life’s journey

we search for that – connection –

eyes that meet,

glance shared,

confirmation of mutual admiration…

yet –

it seems –

that if that touch,

that – embrace –

falls outside the paradigms of social acceptance –

we push away,

close doors,

retreat…

why is it – 

my friend –

my feelings invade your – right?

my need exceeds your – allowed?

i have only everything to give to you –

sunlight on a cloudy day –

care more than all of life’s unconcern –

and love –

pure as fire,

real as touch –

i only want to be that which you need –

all of want –

more than much!
