I See You Looking At Me - Collab With Em

I see you looking at me There is an old pang in my chest there where your hands used to caress where your lips loved to roam there were you called your home There is an old flutter now What is that in your eyes? Is it real or just a disguise I see you looking at me That way…. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No, it can’t be And in that instant your memory consumes me A roaring fire lighting the room Shadows dancing on the walls We are drunk on desire ……breathing you ……holding you ……caressing your breasts ……kissing your body …... tasting your love upon my tongue Unbelievable . . . panic sizes me Don’t look at her -- flee But in that moment my shattered heart Leaps with joy I see your eyes …. and I feel the earth …. moan with delight ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I wish the world would go away I turn away from your stare Look down at my shaking hands I'm breathless...overwhelmed I need to think.... Why now? Why here? Out of nowhere…you appear Oh, but....I want you I sneak another peak As my mind brings to my eyes the memories It seems just yesterday you looked at me that way ….when you undressed me ….when you caressed me ….when you made me understand how a body can speak the language of love Never before Never since.... has my body spoken with the same eloquence That language I first learned with you I want you But....the pain won't go away you were too proud to say I'm sorry Oh....but my lips are getting moist hungering for your kiss I look your way And…nothing matters but those eyes My heart will give me away Thundering in joy It won’t be still! ….. Let me think ….. Let me think Oh...Oh...but....I want you Here you are…. You’ve made it over to me Here you stand Looking down at me… Reaching for me…. Oh… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Taking you into my arms – lifting Your eyes -- dark pools of honey Your lips – full . . . moist . . . inviting Our bodies embrace – I am home My prayers for another chance – answered by your kiss Our words tumble over each other Tears, laughter, kisses . . . relief My beautiful darling – I’ve missed you …. Your smile …. your touch …. the way you look at me Making love until the dawn Our bodies intertwined My head resting upon your breasts Listing to the rhythm of your heart – my heart How beautiful you are my darling – Your love is fragrant and radiant Filling my heart with light . . . Look – I am glowing from within . . . But…wait…what’s this? I feel a stiffness creeping into your body WHAT – fear seizes me – I can’t breath My darling – abandon the hurt, the pain I have caused . . I am on my knees begging your forgiveness your love How can I prove my love – earn your trust? I won’t leave – never again! I love you need you you you . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What if you hurt me again? This time....I won't recover This time….I won’t survive It has taken so long for this heart to mend Down on your knees Your eyes plead I see the tears gather Can I risk it? Can I? But then again Can I risk going back to the emptiness that you left behind A life without you was days and nights of longing...for you My fingers reach For those unruly strands of hair You turn your face into my palm Planting a kiss Your arms go around my waist as you rest your head against my body We're lost to the world Our moment Our truth You're finally home I bend down to whisper "Stand up and walk me home There is language….I want to hear I want to hear your body speak to me.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And that night In our hungry bed The eloquence of our shared language The body syllables of desire The sound units of passion The language of our love Was heard by the world ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The story of a chance encounter between two old lovers *********** Love lost and love found ************** A Collaboration by Eileen Manassian and David Meade
