Description I hear the wind before a storm,
whipping through the trees and
it makes my shirt flare behind me.
In the wind, I hear you.
Your voice.
It soothes me – to my heart and soul –
and it calms me, taking my fears
as it passes me by and I can
feel the power of your words.
Strong and true, as an arrow cast
by the most skilled marksman.
Then, I see the rain as it approaches
from across the lake.
In the rain, I hear you.
Your laugh.
It makes my lips turn up and
my heart smile, beaming like
headlights cast from a car.
Excited and joyful, as children
playing games in tall fields.
It washes over me and I can feel the
hurts of the day melt from my bones.
I close my eyes, turning my head
skyward, feeling your hand as it
caresses my cheek, warming my face.
I feel your warmth on me,
your body pressing to mine, your
neck craned up to look into my eyes,
your other hand upon my chest.
I open my eyes and lightning flashes.
In the light, I see you.
Your face.
It makes me glow – I can't see myself,
but I know I am. You make me feel like
I belong in this place. Like I have a
reason to be here – to live and breathe.
Your lips curled in a smile, I remember
what it feels like to have them against mine,
to embrace them with my own,
and I grow hungry for them.
The crash of thunder rips across the sky,
all around me and shakes the very Earth
I stand upon.
In the thunder, I feel you.
Your lips.
They part slightly and as our kiss grows
more passionate, thunder rolls louder and
I hear your soft moan in the wind.
You are with me. And I with you.
For all of time and
through the rest of eternity,
I love you.

You definitely have a way with words... I understand they come from the heart, but still, to be able to draw that much out of them is amazing. The imagery is quite powerful. Dunno about the comment on her being physically there, i didn't get that idea reading it at all. To me, it felt more like someone reaching out to a person who's far away and connecting the only way possible, with heart and soul. That's the sense i got out of it...

Sorry if my comments are out of order, i'm just finally taking time to go through the whole gallery properly, in no particular order ,as my mood strikes.

That's what I'm meaning (the reaching out with Heart and Soul). In a realationship of this distance, it's nice to be able to feel the other person without being near them.

And, by the way, your mood actually strikes people? It gets that bad?

Yeah, i can relate. During the 2 years me and my husband were living on 2 different continents, i often did that too, although not as intently as you describe.

Yup, my mood strikes like lightning. Be warned.

This is beautiful. I like the interjections of "your voice, your laugh" etc - that break up the poem, yet inevitably just remind the reader of the main focus. Also, the use of natural elements - like you are explaining love as a natural phenomenon...very nice.

You don't see love as a natural phenomenon? Am I simply lucky that, when I first met the woman mentioned here (even though it was online), I fell in love? Do you see love as something that must be worked for and not something that just happens? And, the elements are all I have.

... I think that it is natural - its just they way you portrayed it that suprised me. a phenomenon...nope unfortunately I don't remember being hit by a title wave - adoration, honor, awe, stupefied - that would be more like it -like he was the best thing in the world...ah high school....wow, the years fly - and now I see it as something to work at. As an extended friendship - a close, intimate bond, yet, in order to live in harmony, there is always ways to be proactive, and express that love, to keep it going - it just doesn't stay alive as sharply as the years go by - sorta slips into this comfortable everyday routine - so its necessary to work at that...keep those first moments alive. Like a garden, if u don't tend to it, eventually it will die.

if that isn't how it is for you....then you're lucky to have found your soul mate. not everyone does. chemistry chooses the best option available...there are many forms and strengths of love...you can love and marry and live happily, without loving your "perfect match"....kind of a sad view point i guess

I see. I suppose, then, that I am lucky. The only thing either of us have to do to "...express that love, to keep it going..." is to do just that. Express our love. Tell the other. Write something like this. Fumble around with words, trying to explain how much one loves the other. And that is a natural thing (especially after certain events), since the love flows through us. I suppose the best way for me to explain it is to ask a question (I know... all these damn questions). Haven't you ever been doing something (work, watching TV, anything) and suddenly feel the need to tell the one you love how much you love them? Or at least try?

oh lol, all the time! I come off as sort of sadistic or bitter in my realisim point of view sometimes, quite unmeaning to. I do love my man very much - with this sort of puppy love, holding him up on a pedastle, ever since high school. haha he is frequently showered with kisses and affection - that is definately my dominate personalit y- affectionate. so yup - its just that i feel it is also necessary to do that, to "try"....

I don't really consider that trying. It's just very natural to me, so I simpy let it flow. It's not often I find a woman like her that gives me such inspiration to write things like this. Actually, almost everything posted on here (aside from that which was written in high school) is inspired by her. All the Erotica, most of the poems. She is my muse. And I love her dearly.

Sorry if I seem to be bragging. I get that way when speaking of her and I. It's unintentional. Oh, and the rum is in my belly.

its ok...just conversations like this make me think about my own relationship. I have so many sociopolitical views that sometimes interfere with romance and I'm constantly analyzing - so for me, while loving is natural, I feel the need yet to work at the actual relationship. Like a peace treaty! lol...I dunno. Glad to hear there are truly some seemingly perfect relationships out there.

oh and try the cuzan mango rum - with apple juice if its too strong straight.

I dont' have much for views on politics. This society is so corrupted I don't even bother trying to help it. Granted, I know how to help it, I just need someone to help. And found that person I have.

I'm actually not much of an alcohol person. My brother's birthday was recently and he decided he wasn't going to drink alone, so he poured me a shot of Tequila. Not much of a fan. And I had a bad experience with rum. First time... let's just say too many too quickly. And the taste wasn't that great, either. I prefer a good wine. Yeah, yeah. I'm a winer.
