At dawn,
after a lifetime
of longing
for you,
we spent one night
alive,
in company
of the other's touch.
And I loved you
softly
with all my heart.
But morning's coming now,
leaving us
witout starlight
to live by.
And my dream,
this peace,
is ended.
But your body
was eternity
to me.
I will never forget
your lips,
your hands,
your breath,
all hot against me,
or your total lack
of holding back,
in need to feel.
Im only real
in you.

Jason,
I'm awed at the depth of your writing. Keep writing from the heart, but don't limit yourself.
I loved him. At age twelve he touched my heart with his music. At age twenty he captured my heart when our eyes met as he sat on a stage and sang Four months later, he fractured my heart with his refusal to allow us to stay together. At age seventy
Love is universal and not limited to the most perfect among us. In this collection of romantic short stories and poetry, love comes to those who are decidedly imperfect, who possess very real human flaws, scars, and challenges. Awaiting us as we are.
I'm awed at the depth of your writing. Keep writing from the heart, but don't limit yourself.
