Sometimes When We Touch

Amy L. Chaves

Sept. 14, 1999

(This poem is dedicated to all lovers confronted with what has been but could never be.)

 

I

When I saw you once more

and felt your hand touching mine,

I felt the rivulets of hidden echoes of our desires,

stirring....

And I live again to the magic of your touch,

your voice, your smile--

You and all of you I was enfolding in my whole being that night,

No matter how fleeting--

there was you.

And my yesterdays and todays merged in you--

In your smile, in your lips, in your eyes.

 

II

If I could only touch you once more

And feel the passion and the wonders of your presence

I will give everything just to be near you,

just to touch you,

just to cup the face that I love so dearly

And bury all the pains in one soft embrace.

 

III

Our roads may lead somewhere where they diverge

But if we could turn back,

we will go back where you and I

touched a million diamonds in the sky

with our touch, with our love.
