My eyes fill with tears,
threatening to spill into the ether.
Memories of what-might-be,
underneath a full crystal moon.
They dance, jabbing and sparring,
anticipating each other's next move.
Distracted by words, fascinated by thoughts,
each draws the other in a little more.
Defenses lowered, but still wary,
they face each other,
both battling the arch-enemies hope and fear.
Formidable opponents, breathtaking allies.
Oh my, words on a page...
The two stand before one another.
Naked, unmasked.
Vulnerable.
All the veils have been dropped,
all pretenses have been shed.
They have come out of curiosity,
out of longing, and in spite of their trepidation.
Tiptoed into a public room,
magnificent wild beasts, strong and proud,
both drawing stares from the assembled crowd.
Focussed. Wary.
Subconscious voices whispering secret intentions
the conscious mind refuses to acknowledge.
Pillars of flame, blinding in their intensity.
