Intimacy Issues

Intimacy with everyone is impossible And yet, sometimes it starts with a glance It's one of the privileges of life A life without it has not been lived When you smell a person's scent And conjure their presence fondly You've known one truly Have had only a few intimacies Both male and female Older and younger ones too Many friends but few loves Like love, intimacy has many facets Too many gates to go through Romance is only one When I touch her hair As if it's my own Fingertips find her softness And never rest on flaws Our eyes meet, whispers touch Thoughts intertwine, dreams are shared Spirits mirrored, feelings are conveyed Mostly without a sound Always most important to each other Often more than self I say Even when miles away It can't be any other way Intimacy: True oneness with another
