The Hurdle

lost since the moment I fell into your eyes,
swimming the currents of exhilarating thoughts
consumed in your radiant warmth
and burning with the pain of knowing
beyond this Hurdle is where my heart lives...
I never seem to take that leap.

the constellation of family and roots make my feet heavy
gazing in the distance for the light that shines
warmed by nothing more than a dot in the night sky
the memories that warm me like a home movie
brushing off the chill of the distant miles between us
even when we sit together.

hands grasp each other in arms that wrap like a ribboned bow around you
holding your attention to my lips movement
pulling each other into an exchange of pressing kisses
that run deeper than a body's length rooted into yesterdays
your body feels as though it is in my lungs....
taking my breath away.

I have the flowers that I hold now and then
the thoughts that are as different as the stars in the sky
a spectrum of emotions from images
cob webs grew on a few, making it hard to see clearly
blinded by my feelings has always been an obsticle...

...once again I stand at the 'Hurdle'.

pulled at my heart..

with this one-

always a pleasure to read your words,

and moreso to feel them.

we have all been here before,

I know..

while reading the words

of a heart, .. longing-

my soul was screaming-

....JUMP!...
