The Pain is Nothing

The pain

is nothing,

compared to the joy

of hurting

in your place.

Somewhere from

an open window

I know you gaze

at me,

you are the horizon

I can never touch

but only look at...

Yet nothing more

I ever wanted

more fervently,

than to taste your tears

on my lips,

feel

your hands on my hips,

dancing in the ocean,

that endless ink

we drown ourselves in.

The pain

is nothing,

compared

to the fear

I'll never see you.

lovely poem , well written

[Steven Allison Hughes]

Alone in a sea of souls; pergitory, without your gaze, your caress...your fearless love deep inside.

[Antonio Valentino]

was just at the ocean the other day swimming in the waves... they never stop do they, one by one they just keep coming.. like thoughts or memories that wash over and soothe.. so many footsteps, apart, being smoothed out back into an endless notebook of sand and broken shell.. imprints that push the swells back from once they came, to that other side where touch never left, it simply rests on the lips of smiles from afar..

luv your sentiments here, as always..

Invisible fear at the ending is making the true realistic European scene in here, wondering, and letting it in the middle, of ones mind... it's no happy ending, it's art. An amazing job Dutchy!
