Can you hear a smile?



Your fingertips across my skin
Every morning every night in my mind
Butterfly kiss Eskimo kiss
A breath away, trembling flames
inside my heart
Is he though art?
When my soul travels with your fingertips
I miss your skin Your breath that captures mine
Will he ever . . .
If he ever . ..
and ocean waves do roll
and the merciful whispering wind still comes to me
and the cawing of seagulls takes me away for a while
It is just another night
Ride the wind currents with me but that I didn’t hear
I am not here and neither is he

Chaucer Whethers The PoetBay support member heart!
Oh but you have captured (it) here for a brief
eternal moment so many have wished were.

The title, indeed the poem and its last line, seems to me a koan, as, not in the beginning but in the end, love always is.

This is so profoundly sad and wistful. Beautiful words and images.
