In the End What Must Be, Is
Let this ship take me where it will
How are you?
How have you been?
I've missed you.
Have you missed me too?
Or do you have a clue?
That you saved my life.
Saw me with a hollow smile.
I've missed you every day.
Something I can never say.
Till all this went away.
But it must be this way.
For nothing worth holding can stay.
Letting go is the hardest gift.
But the most important to give.
The heaviest burden and the lightest lift.
Know that my smile is no longer empty.
That my heart is full and plenty.
Now in this life I am ready.

A Kiss
What is a Kiss? It's more than the release of a need. It's more than a lust of the moment, more than a simple physical embrace. When two hearts are completely vurnerable and opened to one another, it is the locking of those two beats. Each other feeling the embrace letting it guide their actions and reactions. Thoughts both full and completely obliterated at the same time. Although time passes it resides outside of this embrace, imperceptible to them. External sounds and sensations are all muted and melded together into a single inconsenquential hum. While the awareness of self and partner are heightened to a magnitude that is so blissful the thought of separation seems painful in itself, like a tearing asunder of your own being.
