For Mark

Sitting upright tucked in bed with three pillows at my back

I write, choosing my words to send to you down this electronic track

Whence are you today?

The office?

The road or up on top of mountain range?

Since we met how has your life thus changed?

Have you ever - once- thought of us?

That undeniable moment; of life changing lust

How lightning sparked jagged and struck us blind

Eyes lock deep as you smile - sensuous, soft gentle and kind

Emotions eddy spin, snap, twirl and converge

My heart split open; with a powerful surge

How your strong warm fingers caressed my hand

Enigmatic, words unspoken resonated around

As palms collide, talking, meeting as they shook

Deep into each others souls our eyes did look

Languidly you reach out

 and touch my hair.

Momentarily letting it lay there.

I sense your fingers casually caress my skin

Charging sexual desire lain unbridled within

The mind picture is as real,

As surreal

 of destiny’s way

Remaining strong even to this day.

My heart senses you thinking, impulsively of me.

Wondering when, how, why fate musing

I have begun to grow without thee.
