A Journey

It’s been a journey 

Almost 17 years

From passions fire to coals gone cold

Never forgotten 

A bond so sweet

Stirred a gentle breeze

A few lingering embers

Caught to flame

And yet again to wain

Gentle, kind, your love so sweet

Could not compete

And you turned the other way

With stranger pull from elsewhere.

In loves journey

Take a stand

Let loves passion fire

Love -wild & free

Our hearts are tangled

Complicated

When we are together

It’s hard to define

It’s comfortable

A warm embrace

And inner desire held back

It’s a dance of joy accompanied by pain

So complicated adding strain

A kiss meant for the cheek?

Somehow met lips

Almost awkwardly 

Like teenagers first kiss were we.

We tried again

But it’s complicated

Lacking total release

Of love and friendship deep

We find peace and companionship

Warmth in the embrace and unspoken love

It’s complicated 

For me

Not quite understanding

Why we couldn’t “be”

I love you that is true

But why couldn’t we-just be?
