Stolen Moments
My heart misses you We talk You admit your insecurities I vent my anger I soothe your anxieties You tell me a stupid joke To make me laugh I can hear relief in your voice I close my eyes So happy that I make a difference I find that my anger is gone Diffused Replaced by loneliness By longing By need I ache for you Wishing to crawl through the telephone And be held within your arms We would lean into each other Forehead to forehead Exploring the sweetness of kisses And the feel of your hands Exploring my body I would feel lush beneath your palms Open and liquid and fire Fed by the knowledge That this time is stolen Surreptitious I remember this As I talk to you And you can hear it in my voice "Don't be sad" you tell me "Someday we'll be together again" And I am suddenly unconsolable Weeping with need And you comfort me Unable to bear feeling my pain Sometimes it's so hard But worth it, we agree So I shake my mental-self And reach beyond the ache Not wanting to waste even one moment This time it is me telling the stupid joke I hear your watery smile We are, as always, in tune Yes Let the moment pass Move on Rebuild our strength Feed off of each other's love So that we may part again Temporarily recharged Temporarily soothed Temporarily fortified and renewed I need you like air And marvel That you need me too What would I do without you? The thought is too much to bear So I tuck it away And smile as I hear you ask "What color are you wearing today?" Our familiar play And as I enhance your visual picture with words We close our eyes And are together again "Call me later..." Good-bye God, I love you |

| the longing and love and , well, simply emotion show up so well in this piece. it's saddening that one would have to go through this heartache, but sometimes we do. i like this. -dandan | Posted on 2004-05-04 00:00:00 | by Dandan | [ Reply to This ] | This sounds like longing...I mean no, disrespect...just my opinion...and your title goes well...with your poem. | | Posted on 2004-04-27 00:00:00 | by Vibrant | [ Reply to This ] | this sounds like longing to me too, it sounds to me like a love gone arye, liek you had a this great love and it started to slip away and you are trying to retrieve it again, its a good write, keep it up |  | Posted on 2004-04-27 00:00:00 | by gigglygirl | [ Reply to This ] | This is very good.
