~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Divided by the desire to connect

Dreaming as reality seeps in

Moving when stillness
Demands the utter most concentration
And the tension of emotion
Offers itself as an impassive muse

Darkness when the light unfolds its spacious wings
Upon an horizon tethered by hope

Shadows cast upon a stage
Where all the actors and actresses have gone home

Sound where there is only the silence of hearts

Space inside of vessel of fate
Sinking delicately as a quickened pulse

Distance filling the curvature
Of spirits blending into one

I only feel surrounded
When I am alone with you
At peace within your thoughts

Contrasts and complementary feelings and realities.
You have a very interesting way of introducing the last three lines.
Intriguing.

... Makes me hold my breath with the suspense of it all. Totally electrifying in its intensity. Another thriller of a write. Like blood pounding in the temples and the roar of silence that is a waterfall in the brain... eddying out into the quiet calm of the pool at the end, the blissful cocoon of sheltered thoughts, the stillpoint at the epicentre of emotional tension - like the image which your lines 7 and 8 conjure, that of the wings of a butterfly opening up from hibernation.

My cinematic mind especially loves lines 9, 10. Makes me think of screenplays where the two main protagonists are moving entirely in different circles, yet inextricably linked and drawn by the centre-stage theatre of life playing out their lives. They only meet and recognise their mutual "otherness" at the end, when they return to the empty platform for the final unveiling which brings their story's resolution. Then the curtain drops et voila! Contented sighs all round... :))

There is a mysterious quality to this beautiful poem, Jude, just as there is in the most successful and intriguing relationships of the heart. The world becomes a misty fog and the only light in the universe shines upon just those two. This is the epitome of all desires and the most elusive of all realities.
Take care,
Sherry
