This is…free flowing from my heart.
This is…pure emotion and dedication.
This is…for you, the other half of my One.

The First

The first touch

Binds us forever

The first kiss

Keeps us together

The first taking

Leaves us quaking

Now I feel you keeping me

Yet keeping me at bay

Possible is hard to see

When trying to look away

Comfort and place is hard to unlearn

Even in the face of the yearn and burn

Love like ours just won’t die

No matter how damn hard we try

Your peace is in my arms

Your you, in my breath’s charms

Find you in whispers on my heart

Find me when your wings are wide apart

Find us when cooking soup

Find us when caring for the troupe

Find us when one has stumbled

Find us in words that are mumbled

Find us in the many tears

Find us when one needs a loving ear

Find us at the end of smiles

Find us together, over many miles

Find us when the day is done

Find us in the One

Now matter vast distance

We continue to get nearer

Soon, we’ll drop resistance

And find our love to be e’er dearer

The first taking

Left us quaking

The first kiss

Kept us together

The first touch

Bound us forever

Years ago I started writing Flash Fiction for just the sheer enjoyment of writing, and now it has turned into a full blown addiction. I can't quit the horse, man! Another dirty little secret about me is my ability to write all kinds of web content. SEO content, articles, blog posts, manifests; you name it, I'll write it. Looking for some help?
