a bit of poetry...

at long last

i'm waiting for
that feeling
between your heart
and your chest

like the first kiss
on the neck,
intertwined fingers,
a shared stare by
strangers,
soft lips and
wet tongues,
evening air
through car windows,
1:16 a.m. phone calls,
a late swim
in dark water lit orange
by parking lot lights,
just slipping inside
and just sliding out,
sunburnt skin,
a girl in a black skirt
dancing the cha-cha,
kneeling and folding hands,
a great drum solo,
the electric body,
checking for a wedding ring
from a distance,
a pink and purple sky,
finally finding out
her name,
a two-year old saying
your name,

a scribbling in the dark...
