LATENT LOVE

Have you ever wondered

how it would be

just you and me

underneath a sea of stars

afloat in the night
as we melt by moonlight?

Does this fantasy

burn inside quietly

in anticipation of

the latent reality

that exists between

you and me?

Our smiles ignited the sky.
We orbited so high, you and I.

Sparkling eyes would just betray
what our mouths dare not say.

All those times our hearts

and souls would touch ...

Can you recall

or is it too much?

After all these years,

do you feel the same?

Then it’s time for you

to release the flame.

To at last be free with me
and experience the intensity
of all that we can be!
