Real

Is wrong to want someone    
As you see them in your mind  
For somehow feelings so long kept    
Find voice    
To say a longing's so    
    
I send you my feelings clothed in words    
And wonder    
Are they more felt than read    
For truth should not miss so fair a mark    
As beats within your heart    
   
And I wonder in the silence    
How sounds the distant voice    
You imagine to my words    
Though the shadows hide my own    
   
Yours to me    
Is the soft warmth of velvet night    
Rich with breath    
Like the murmur lost in the urgenency of a kiss    
Lingering in my ears until lost from thought    
As our lips meet at last    
To taste the real    
Imagined no more    
The mirage which shimmered just out of reach    
Come at last
To quench my thirst    
   
To feel you    
And our words to be our own    
Many or few    
Heart spoken in embrace    
For I would hold you    
As I've longed to hold you    
And more    
To be held by you    
As my heart has yearned so long
And lose myself in your touch

Author's Note
Words speak and glances
But here I'm flying blind
The ether has no body
With which to offer as if mine
