Do Deep Connections Exist?

I remember times gone past (or yet to come, time and experience being so ephemeral),

What had I said? What had I done to turn the tide of meaning?

It appears that deep, meaningful bonds are destined for me to break,

I know not how or why yet there it is,

Maybe the Universe laughs at me,

Maybe the idea of deep connections, deeper than deep feelings, are simply my imaginings and the feelings that come with them nothing but chemicals in the brain, felt in the heart and gut then washed away with food and drink and time.

I know not.

All I do know is that I miss those feelings,

Miss what felt like connections,

Miss what I perceived as sharing a deeper part of me.

All imaginings it seems, and now gone with the wind.

If Only

I know I have no right to ask this

I ruined all the chances that you gave

The years have flown by like wispy clouds

And we’re different people now than we were then

But I miss the lightest touches from your fingers

The softest feelings flowing from your heart

If only you had been real

No power on Earth would have kept us apart

Deeper Than Love

Quantum physics has it right
For though we’re miles away
I can feel you close
All and any time of day

Deeper than the physical
A warmth that’s heart to heart
Your being resonates with mine
And distance plays no part

Nothing But Love

Nothing But Love - dec 10 2017 - galaxy NGC 4490 - hubble

It took me a while
To realise how,
The ‘what’ and the ‘if’,
The ‘should haves’ of now.

It finally dawned,
I let the past go,
Importance of ‘then’,
Now infinitely low.

Come with me, we’ll climb
To heights far above,
Joy in the moment,
And nothing but love.

Eternity In A Moment

Tumultuous skies rained
On soft feathers.

Stretching the whisper of touches
He reached for her.
She could not see through the veil
Yet felt the touch,
Leaned her head to the breeze,
Aching for more.

Responding to the need,
Creation paused.

He withdrew his hand, thunder rolled,
Clouds broke apart,
Tear soaked feathers lifted, waved,
Sunrays poured through,
Stroking face, smoothing fears,
Soothing sorrow.

Eternal memory,
Moment in time.

Between The Spaces

Between The Spaces - October 8 2017 - hubble

In between
Lie spaces
Sinuously teeming
Silently streaming
Riches of life

There
You may
Find me
Waiting

Patiently
Pondering
Moments
We shared

Ruminating
Feeling
Flow
That’s still there

Grasping at stars
Like sparks
In the air

Hoping to find you
In each
Flickering glare

Turning then twisting
For the life
In between

Where love
Is all
There is

Fathers Love Lament

****

Candles flickering in the dark night scene,
Two lovers meeting silently unseen,
Sweet whispers carry nothing of import,
As lips kiss ears and breathing becomes short.
Shouts filter through the woods coming their way,
The father hunting hard to have his say,
Yet knowing how he feels can’t stop their love,
Both feel divinely met from God above.
Nothing here on Earth can part them now,
As face to face they slowly sink to ground,
To consummate their love as soon as die,
In passions frenzy Jules reaches for her guy,
And when the dogs arrive their love is spent,
As Father, looking down, starts his lament.

When Love Becomes More

When love becomes more than you expected
Days brighten
Clouds seem full of life and faces
Senses heighten
Clarity returns to places you thought had died
Your world shines again
