[ NaPo 2018 ] Anatomy Of Desire

  
This is the beginning. For Us,    
every moment recognized as
now is an opportunity
to birth reality anew. I
can't imagine mine without  
you. Determined to have more     
companionship outside of  
this limited realm of virtual
Love. Notes passing hands
through deep underground      
wormholes of data digital      
is simply not enough. In     
my life story currently
bookmarked at Chapter 47,      
what unfinished pages
remain are reserved for
having you in my arms      
even if only to let you go
again. I will be the better
for the experience; there      
will be no loss to lament     
--- only gain in knowing      
we manageour best      
in this medium ...     
until desire dictates      
our next rendesvous

Anatomy Of Desire  
   
This is only the beginning      
     
for every moment      
we recognize as now      
is an opportunity to birth      
reality anew      
     
and I can't imagine      
mine without you      
     
determined to have      
more of your companionship        
outside a limited realm of      
virtuality;      
     
texts seen on screen      
voices heard from speakers      
exchanged      
through deep underground      
wormholes of data digital      
     
It's simply not enough      
in my unfinished life story      
currently bookmarked      
in Chapter Forty-Seven      
     
What remaining years      
I hope to have you in my arms      
only to let you go someday      
I will be the better for it      
     
There will be no loss to lament;      
     
only gain      
     
in the Love, expressed      
and received as best      
as we could manage      
     
until desire dictates      
our next rendesvous
