Even Though - A Poem That Never Happened

even though
our hands have never touched
fingers playing gentle games

even though
our eyes have never gazed
into crystal hues of wanting

even though
our lips have never met
creating passages for lusting

even though
our breath has never mixed
making whispers in the early dawn

even so
i know you

  1. Kim, when you write poetry, it's like magic is happening... words dancing on paper. It's magnificent, this piece. It's filled with the mysteries that we never want uncovered... I loved it!

  4. Thanks for beautiful words and graceful delivery. It is in the wanting and the mind that we create desire. The denial of abject fulfillment only causes us to dance closer to the mental flames, deepening our attachment, enriching the story. Without the ongoing mental foreplay in relationships, the reality of meeting, building, and connecting is never as intense. :) Thank you for the reminder of the power of anticipation and desire.

  5. How can that be? Is that impossible love so real? If they've never met how can they..?
    Oh yes they can, and it is more intense and more passionate than any other love , because you create your lover at your wish, in your dream...

    And...It must be, for you state it so beautifully!
    I love your poems
