I caught a glimpse of you today
Random
Passing by in traffic
Hauntingly familiar
Yet so fiercely distant
Complicated love
Crashing down around me still
My yearning heart
Pounding ricochet
Familiar breathless rhythm
These warp speed years
Have been quite kind to you
You wear them well my dear
My mind
Adrift
Delicious daydreams
Moonlight nights
Soulful calls at 3am
Lost dogs
Sober thoughts
Dealing with fear demons
Clinging to each other
Despite the awkward chemistry
Your tender hand
Softly cupped in mine
My hungry arms
Wrapped around your feminine waist
Your whisper voice
So soothing
To these aging ears 
Incredible sparkle
Dancing through your loving eyes
That magical kiss
Ah Mel……..
That fascinating kiss
No discernible logic
This gnawing need for you
It simply is
Never left sweet lady
I’ve tried my best to let you go
No relief
No fulfillment
Are you still afraid?

A love like this is all-consuming and lasts forever, beautiful- and it can make even the strongest of us scared. Liked this alot, you really formed this so each line drops part of a meaning so that we wait for the next word to fall as if we are drawing closer to the kiss.

love unrequited (I almost loathe that phrase), but love is sometimes unrequited and this sounds like a loss still aching but accepting.

wonderful capture of mood and realization.

thanks, ~Donna.

Bill, you've captured Mel beautifully in these perfect lines; impossible to change a word. Now, please, hang on to Mel.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
