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? © Bill Grimes Jr. 2008

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.
