PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

when I see you in my mind

I want to touch you

I want to reach out and ruffle your hair

and watch your eyes warm to fill with my own

reflection

sometimes its hard to believe that I have

always been just right here

and you forever there

sometimes I just can't help but wonder

is that the way it is for you too

or am I just being the hopeful one

there are moments though when I can sense

your incredible depth

and all I can do is just ache and ache

to swim in its bottomless waters

you refresh me so

and remind me of just who I am

and at times where I was meant to go

we share so much

and know even more

about each other

and each our dreams

private little wars

every minor thing sparkles in your wake

you are magnificent

never forget that

and yet its our confessed imperfections

that makes us most attracted

our minds are old lovers now

these exchanged pages

are our shared satin sheets

we languish upon their sweetly welcomed

crispness

you alone seem to take me as me

whether sensitive or funny

mythical or real

amazed or fearful

you accept

and this is why

I long to reach out and touch you

for you are

the best sort of friend

a man it would seem

who in effect

was born to understand

my cave dweller.............
