Man Of Life

By Domma Leigh

I close my eyes and dream of my man of light. He whispers his words

of love and caresses my heart with the tenderness of love untouched.

I feel the presence, yet he has no form. Words on a screen flash

before my eyes. Phrases of passion and love scroll by me as I try and

touch my man who captures my soul. Plans of love in the flesh are

forged.

Strange the fear of the flesh when two hearts beat so much a like.

Shared secrets and shared dreams hide in the corners as eyes meet for

the first time. Fear of all that is real, all that might be, hopes

and dreams of the voiceless love denied. My man of light no longer.

Just a stranger/friend. So much , so close but so far apart as in the

silence we sit and hold the hand of each other feeling the flesh and

wondering.

Voices rise and fall. Words become familiar, as the flesh and soul

bind as one. Friends, yes friends, nothing else. Too much too fast as it

was or was it? In the stillness of one lonely night, the dreams of the

man of light come again. The friend of flesh so close so near, his

breathing echo's within my ears.

The passion of the flesh exploded. The love unclaimed no longer can be

left alone. Caution thrown to the wind to capture but a moment of the

love once loudly proclaimed. No longer words on a screen and voiceless

words take sound, of sweet music in  my mind. Tender touches, gentle

strokes, the flesh is united as it was first intended. For the moment

all that was said all that was spoken all dreams that were dreamt become

real. The man of life holds me close as my love exchanges with him and

his.

I open my eyes and he is gone. Back to the land of his family. Back to

the beginning to the flashing words, back into my dreams. My man of light

guides my heart through the darkest nights.

For a twinkle of an eye all seemed so near, all seemed so possible but as

it goes all there is, is the moment and the moment will always pass. To

hold the special moment in my mind forever. To hold his special love for a

life time. My man of life may never be but my man of light, my

stranger/friend, I will always hold dear and near to me.

I will love you always and hold you in my dreams.
