Conversation with you

And I think about how it would be

to have you in my space

to feel your mind in my mind,

to be so close to you:

and everything touches,

and I hear your blood

and mine ringing,

like a peal of bells.

(and if I am not careful I will

lose myself to the clamour)

And I think about the feel of things,

how touch can be like water

how sometimes almost burning

how space can disappear:

and edges blend together,

and I see your heart

and mine glowing,

like a kind of sun.

(and if I am not careful I will

find myself starlight swimming)

And I think about how space and light both shine,

how light flickers and dims

how shapes present shadows

how curves create mysteries:

and here thoughts merge and mingle

and you open our minds

and I open our hearts

like a kind of sigh

(and if I am not careful I will

find I'm you and you are me)
