POETRY 2001

In the midst of anguish, I suddenly fell head over heels in love. It was crazy at the time. I had yet to move out from the house of pain, my life was really up in the air, and this man, this amazing, beautiful, kind man was a celibate buddhist. We became friends, yet I could not eradicate the passion inside me, indeed it grew with every encounter.

All I could do was write in my journal:

Daniel,

Why is my heart so sure you're mine?
and, oh, my body wants to entwine
herself with you.

It makes no sense to me
yet the intensity
takes my breath away.

Each night I call to you.
Last night I felt your hands on me.
Upon waking I knew
I would not see
you there.

So I linger where
dreams sweet bliss
holds us, lets us kiss.
Here I may say all I wish.

Here I hold you deep in Love
that cannot be fed in the world above.
