courting love

the moment we meet

you make eyes at me

mine twinkle back

a light to be led by

you saunter into my space

and it just...

...it chills me throughout

your lips part

you speak

i smile

we smile...

knowingly

by my hand

you usher me

to privacy

inter-vested in me

[coals placed...

a flame is struck...

coals lit...

slowly reddening with heated play...

a fire burns...]

as polar ends

draw closer...

so does the vision

of a possiblity

...us down the road

and

as we feed the burn

we agree

to be

here

again...

building meetings

one on top of another

building love

friendship

and future

all part of the others

exchanging energy

involuntarily

unable to dam the confessions of love

life

fears

all parts

dark and light

hidden and evident

we share our air

giving and getting,

not just what we see

but what we are

until nothing is left to do

but be a covenant

of promised love

lived until death

which really doesn't come

for this is 

an eternal

next lifetime

reborn into new forms

loving again and again

type of thing...

making bigger and better

the things average

that we possess alone

becoming a sun's shine

together

blaring with loud rays

of incomparable affection

hearing tunnel sounds

of our own joy

the kind that nudges onlookers

plays muse to romantic dreams

reminds anyone

seated in cynicism

that love IS

and while we're

eye to eye

fingers braided

consumed without thought

we're making

kids giggle

and old cats nod and smile...in pride

at new school

channeling old

yet...

the beautiful part...

is that THIS

is all first glance...

you make eyes at me

 i return it with a twinkle...

a light

that says...GO!
