Dialog From An Unwritten Novel

"Kiss me hard," she said. "Until I know you mean it."
"So sorry for making things difficult, I'd apologize except
It's difficult to think things out, when you kiss me harder and harder
that complicates things so. I don't need any more complications, do I?"
"Why doesn't this paradox confuse me anymore?" I thought without a blink.
The magnetic kismet between the hard and soft
The utterly yielding and unyielding space where two meet as one
Dance into a metaphysical cage so mere where bars dissolve at the slightest touch
Of light, there is much to hide behind inside the yearning night
I felt her brush my face, my shoulder with her hair and voice
Soft as a shadow from the silent trees that slept as though to always dream
Sense of self letting go of what one never knows and forgetting yes and no
As we burned and wept, only holding to the aching voices that wanted so
" Kiss you soft as a raindrop sings or the dragonfly wings, flashes of color in the light."
Never seeing a sign, or hearing a word you say, until I know you mean it...

Poetry by Chaucer Whethers
