Moment Of Truth

And so
I will TRY to articulate
the hardest poem of all
I will try to express
what love is
for that is what I feel
for David

I imagine that some day
i will touch him
and hold him
no words need be spoken
sometimes
it's hard to believe
that we will merge
in a sea of passion
'cause he lives so far away
so many callings
so many chores
but i suspect
that one day
we will indeed
dance in the
enchanted garden
a dance like no other
because we can see
into each other's soul
because we have felt
what each has known
and if he doesn't
come my way
if doesn't come true
if it's all make believe
i will still love David
because i know
what he's been through
and i have felt his PAIN
i have seen what he has seen
David has finally found
his purpose and I
am so very proud of him
for taking the road less traveled
I want to stroke his body
envelope his soul
kiss him all over
with every ounce of passion
that i am capable of
like no other love
he has ever known
he deserves to feel the heat
the heat
the heat
the struggle
to breathe
breathe
and if he doesn't
feel that love for me
then i will go
because i know
the key to love
is reciprocity

yes, they say that's
what life is all about
i think they call it
unconditional love
I want David to find
his second heart
I want him to find love
he should know
what it's like to find
what was once lost
an odd and funny bloke he is
but still just a good man
tryin' to do the right thing
even if the costs are high
even if consumes every ounce
of his energy
David speaks the truth
and, yes, sometimes
he makes mistakes
but he'll own up to it in a sec'
as we all should
when we realize
that we have erred
I want David to find
love and serenity
even if i am not by his side
even if i am not his lady
because i know he truly is
one in a million
a soaring spirit
a courageous soul
and you will soon see
why David's heart
is nothing short of
a RAVING masterpiece!
