If you have any comments, please email me ... ... all night, we talked and ... We're connected ... what does that mean? I'm here, you're there ... the distance is great. It is possible; is it possible to share souls? Is it possible to love? ... what is love? My brain is spinning ... chills through my body The vision is brilliant ... the distance? Ageism is a scourge ... it's everywhere Does it really matter ... why? No games ... openness and honesty . Pure relationship, pure love ... pure what? How do we ... connect, REALLY CONNECT? Here ... there? The vision ... meditate, breath in, focus Breath out, release ... again? Continue ... in breath brings you closer Out breath, you smile ... yes? Meditate ... the connection, I see it Our vision is clear ... can I touch you? A wall slides wide ... you're there ... we walk through Fingers touching ... now what? Bright sunlight, open valley, green Breeze, smell, fresh, clean ... why? A place of calm, beauty, brightness A place of love ... love? We touch ... we touch some more Everywhere ... chills ... why? It can't re real ... I'm here, you're there But I can feel ... your touch? We continue ... words flow between us Our paths are mixed ... now sleep? We drift into the unknown ... we're breathing deeply Your mouth opens ... words? Sleep, sounds drift from your mouth, I draw closer We lay face to face ... you whisper? Are you awake? You start whispering, some coherent words We start ... talking? I reach out, draw you into me ... I feel your warmth I hear your words ... sleep? My mind moves into and out of reality I still hear your words ... why? I drift off the page, to another world And then I hear you ... cry? I slowly return and see the tears ... I reach out Touch, feel, pull you ... closer? You ask who I am, I tell you my name Did it register? I see anger? You speak of family, a brother who gave you peace His death ... your look? We lay together and talk ... and cry More secrets, more anger? We share our lives, we lay there Touching and talking ... sleep? It's amazing, we drift, we talk, all night long The words flow ... connection? I awake, where are you, I feel your warmth My fingers search ... emptiness? I see where you laid, I smell your body I want you ... disappear? I can trace your body, I feel your passion I ache with fear ... where? Our vision appears, we reconnect Fingers intertwined with passion ... questions? We speak of union, fantasies being fulfilled The newness of love ... anger? You speak of being a child Betrayed and assaulted ... trusting? We share the pain, being violated We tightly hold each other ... and cry? We know we feel the anger, we know The trust was broken, don't tell ... tell? We need understanding, where do we turn Can I trust you, and I ... trust? We unite in our commonality Our secret past, our journey ... our history? We drift away in unison, whispering Holding each other, our eyes close ... the spirits? The night fades into dawn, rays of newness Creep into the sky, beginnings? I awake, new smiles appear, you fall across me We hug each other, no words are necessary I feel your passion for the first time, but something seems wrong Your love is over powering, it engulfs our bodies It calms our lust and we stand together Holding tight, searching for a newness We find our pathway in the sand, the waves invite us To journey into the waters edge Hand in hand, naked in the new dawn We step into the waves in search of a union The suns rays creep above the horizon, a new day A new beginning, a new love, I'm here, you're there, the distance is still there But we're hand in hand Jon Song < jonsong@hotmail.com > ~jon~
