Message Me

Speak to me at night  
Send me words with meanings half veiled
Suspended  
Left hanging in the air  
Like thoughts waiting to be finished  
Even as one would finish a sentence  
While the other was speaking  
My mind enjoying all the possibilities  
Yet fleeting -  
So in answer you might speak again  
(Fortunately my imagination races)  
 
Words  
Wisps of things that catch the light of the eye  
Drawing me in that I might see better  
Like little kisses that ask is this alright  
And reply  
We shall see what we shall see  
 
So few words  
So brief  
But shared again and again  
As if word for action  
The glance, the smile, the subtle tilt of the head  
building anticipation  
The measure and the match  
To see how each one fits  
A game of wits and cunning craft  
  
The not quite said  
The unfinished question  
The ever so subtle change of direction  
As we dart and we dance around words  
To get a feel one for the other  
As much as we dare but not too leading  
But who needs to lead the willing  
As I read in the lines a soft spoken nudge  
 
Just to send is interest  
And return acceptance  
Is this not an understanding  
And to understand a little is to desire to know more  
Another answer  
More steady words  
As we learn the language of the other  
And hope for the familiar  
A trust, a friend, a confidante  
More...
