I'm in London, staring out over Tower Bridge as I write... What a magical view, all lit up... What a saddo to be sat here at a computer... !! :))


RENDEZVOUS AT 1910


What is this togetherness
that doesn't engage with words,
that has no recourse to eye-contact,
no access to touch of hand or hair?

In the voice of a city siren
you spoke to me;
like your key in the door
it told me you were home.

From nowhere,
from never,
you kissed me hello,
time and distance
silenced.

We've now met for the very first time
having never been apart.

Isn't this what that togetherness is?

This is so romantic, as you get to recreate the first moment that you fell in love. Discovering that love that made two become one.

Kate, this one makes a resounding thud as it slams against the heart. You've written especially for the heart here with this one. And so delicate and lovely it's pieced together.

Kate, togetherness is knowing there's someone sharing your thoughts and feelings and when you reunite, it's as though you were never away from each other. I truly enjoyed this.

togetherness leads to the presence and bonding strengthened even in the absence of its oneness ... sometimes, i find myself clinging to that conceit ...

I think it is, and it's quite a rendezvous when it happens.

Ohhhhh Sweet Kate, the lady spirit of the London Tower must be dating your muse tonight for this is a womanly tale of love and desire that says so much with such minimal words or even physical contact. It is like the lovers once separated are not whole again until the kiss is shared and contact made. Lovely write Sweet Kate...

I feel the energy from long ago searches for that perfect time to return. There are times when the heart loves and longs so deeply that to be fulfilled is a calling for that spirit to return.

Ab-sol-lutely!!! That is what it is all about, and it is a tangible and transority thing if it is not meant to be . . . Lonely souls without their mates are wise if they can write a piece of poetical loveliness such as this . . .
