Glances (Collaboration with a friend)

Thoughts travel along the road of curiosity.
There have been plenty occasions where a taste of the others
flesh raised an eyebrow.
Shy quietness.
Eyes locked & felt... observing everything.
Never has there been a strange moment,
comforting tokens help with arriving back to reality.
A beautiful friend to confide.
A scent of nature's inner being, unable to hide on certain days -
when a glimpse is captured, arms wrapping, signifying "until next time".
The mind wonders along the trail of processing secret naughtiness...
while loyalty of our respected paths run deep, the devil within wishes to
sink its teeth gently, kissing your softness into pieces.
Those days, possessing desires to creep away - a fire reflecting your face.
If priorities didn't exist, chasing you would provide such a worth...."

You, my unexpected friend, shield this mind from wandering thoughts
shreds what lingers if left unsaid
the most intimate connections come from those that are
the most different
encased in wrappings so unlike our own
we must enter into each passing moment with eyes wide open
because that moment could be the one to bring
to our hearts what they do not even know they desire
You tell me it will be okay
and somehow I hear you through the caged beast of my ears
which stills the wings that frantically beat against my ribs
Because of you I know that one day love will find me,
not as a sun-bleached pile of bones,
but warm, thriving, pulsating
Sustained on a certain kind of love.
