Love.Lust.Longing

You do not know oceans
or continents
You're not familiar
with distance of any sort
or the impossible
gap of
time
where his day
is my night
and
he lives in my future
while I remain in his past

No, you do not know these things
nor do you care
You go on beating
your heart wings
and in each swift stroke
is a pulsation of remembrance
his legs wrapped tightly
around mine pinning us
to the same present
Belly to belly
mouth to collarbone
His body against my back
His eyes searching me
with a smile
and a question as large
as the Pleides
and yet, as he says
much closer

A question that spans
the endless miles between us now
It drapes itself across fields of flowers,
neighborhoods, whole city blocks
and the cities themselves,
entire countries and continents,
rivers, oceans, mountains,
great swathes of time
and time again
my heart, my mouth, my body
ache to meet yours again
To press myself to you
To say to hell with
time and distance and practicality
I will be there tomorrow
with flowers and honey
and a smile
and my heart
