have I loved as I love you?
the air brings traces of memory
across lips and tongue...an emptiness, felt
in the wanderings of fingertips
the memories of skin, i close eyes
and bring you into a dream unfolding
and in the sounds you leave
an echoed grace, a feeling akin to weightlessness
that rises in notes of birds, in the forest's hum,
lays hidden in the ambiance of a busy street,
where we have walked, and
made moonlight more tender
( i sight a solitary sparrow on a wire,
and urge him to fly...give wings to my wishes
for it is among sparrows on earth and stars in heaven
that I have learned a geometry of faith)
have i loved as i love you?
no- it is more that i never loved
until loved by you
