A Poem by Chuck

        Symphonically, I am new, and you with me

   Sweet darkness, no stars under the ceiling

Only through the cold window

   Silent but for breathing, but only just

          Except, "What are you singing?"

An answer, but we keep up whispers to hear only our voices

      But smile when we spill a secret, or quell one another's insecurities

                               "This girl belongs to that boy."

 Apologies, and wet faces

Before we know it - 1, 2, 3, undone.

Fingers intertwined, mine were clinging

              I cannot let go- "I will always need you"

And you know this, and I lean toward the intensity of your comprehension

               So wonderfully imperfect

            At ease with our complexity

  Two clumsy, common beings

                  Each heart keeping time with the other

      with nothing between us and as if there were nothing around us

     In our moment

   I was not lost, and you were understood

   We were not singularly alone.

 

"There can never be anyone else."
