Full Circle

 I found you in the room I left you in

hunched over in a single chair, disheveled... head bowed brooding in a dark corner 

Full circle

Everything else was just a distraction 

It's funny how many lives and loves we walk through 

Forever is that thing we yearn for and search for

It is our greatest lover and heartache 

Our ultimate soul mate 

So close but tragically unattainable 

It's always been there

Spellbound and hidden 

Like buried treasure

Forgotten within the passages of time

Embracing distractions 

Scared for the sting of our own truths

And I can again feel words like blood coursing through my veins

Concepts of a love undefined pulsing through my heart

Begging for the spoken breaths of new truths to rise 

I watch you undress me with the heat of your gaze 

With the intensity of your depth 

Undressing the raw strength of  perseverance I wrap around me like a cloak that now falls to the floor

Leaving me bare

In an unspoken unveiling of innocence and vulnerability 

I followed you down the darkest of paths before and in one hand humbly walk with knowledge more forbidden than the fruit it hides within and on the other a torch awaiting a spark strong enough to illuminate this future of uncertainty

Troubled but with barely simmering hope in my heart I seek your guidance through the passages of what it means to be you... to be us... 'to just be'. And maybe together we can ignite that spark.... And if there is no light to be found... then let it be enough that we've found each other...
