Long years trekking the wilderness

My emotions torn my mind a mess

Longing and seeking

Seeking and not finding

Parched for the touch of another

Seeking my soul sister my lover

A chance encounter in an oasis

I see you with my mind’s eyes

You who I have been searching for

Eyes shining with an inner luster

Beckoning me from afar in subtle ways

Intensely alluring gentle and calming

We shudder in incertitude at our fears

The more we talk fear dissipates

We take the first step towards each other

Longing to bare our souls to each other

Wanting our thirst to be quenched

Longing for that long forgotten touch

To meld our desires and wants

We meet in the middle and you touch my soul

The first step taken leads to others

Where will they end

Neither of us know nor care

The first step has been taken

We dream of the thousands of steps to come
