working hard on feeling nothing, always trying to forget 
I was shutting down my visions when
you opened up your heart and smiled back at me.
shining all the love you have on my faded memory.
and in the clear, open skies
I raised my arms, embracing you:
seeing all you are within me;
beating loudly in my heart;
igniting long lost lessons;
magnifying the possibilities.
revealing what is and isn’t true
about you, and all the would be lovers
who are knelling on both knees;
with multicolored candles burning
and tears turning to stone.
monuments of love only dreamt,
while I am feeling you -
in the east and in the west -
yes, I am feeling you.
