i just wanted to let you know

sometime someday
once again

I want to taste the
tenderness of your
powerful kiss that
seemed to fill me
with an overwhelming
and all consuming
amazement of pure
white light
that preceded out from
the deepest depths
of your soul

the lust

how it sparkled and twined
falling out along my skin from
the tiny tips of your fingers

as if fluently you drew
on me but thrice between
tender movements of
darkened sexuality how
you lightly kissed me with a
trust that taught me love

and your tongue caressing circles
it emaciated your feeling in such a
thoughtful tender way that it dissolved
into a thousand tiny droplets
mellifluous and effervescent

and how our love
so seemingly spilt
out into the night

escaping into
the dark sky above

not even caught by
that little dipper

you know

the only one we ever
distinguished
as we strained up into
the sky hand
in gentle hand

the sounds of the car's radio
drifting through the night
never held a candle to the
sound of your sweet voice

and how our intransitive senses
bound and confused us

as if in a red string used
to wrap gifts

it cut deeply
so elegant and precise
so giving and so trusting

the sea gently laps against
smooth stones and the tracks
are silent now

and that train
doesn't glide through here
anymore

but I just wanted to let you know
that in spite of the fact that
I never wrote you a love note
or a poem

you meant the world to me and maybe
I just never found the words
to show you how I cared before

if only for a
maybe and a
sometime someday
and once again

I'll be there for you
