sometimes naked

life is full of surprises

you came and I fell in love

knowing better

but helpless, immersed in the magic

of unexpected passion

and now

we come and go

sometimes naked

hot and tangled

wide and wild eyed

yet more often apart

separated by land miles

and oceans

screen gazing

soft and misty eyed

distance on occasion lends disenchantment

pride and hurt feed on the space

between us

created by physical absence

I find myself alone

lost without the one who is my light

my soul mate my anam cara

we will always return

as the sea to the shore

drawn to each other

embracing our connection

our past our present our future

etched in the sands of time
