Untouchable Cantos

That day that way we met the nightingale sang while whooping cranes bowed their heads the sun danced between the blue skies as the clouds rushed by I remember that day that way you walked the way you smiled that funny way you dazzled me with your cunning charm like no other man ever had the pink flamingos were wearing my dress while gone fishing signs hung about the broken drift wood store fronts hot sand caressed my skin the turquoise waters released a soft salty mist that day that way the kiss was met I awaited your arrival in the midst of it all we knew full well death would follow the sullen hints betrothed frightening were we wrong to fall so deep in love destroying a brilliant friendship by falling in love a connection so valid why were we wrong to hide such a great love to covenant a love that would someday blast off shattering the moon sending pieces of our love into the universe racing sparks ignited the stars that twinkled back down to the earth that day that fabulous way we met painting a beautiful canvas of cards hand written letters photographs proses poetry collection of memories that we were forbidden to express love hidden deeply breaking our spirits envious minds colliding before us an yet within warm tears flowing shown only when a quiet storm gathers I watch and wait for raindrops to cover my face this is our song for this is our time to weep for broken hearts beckoning thought desired to feel to touch to only remember desperately trying to hold on to what's left what is really left the pain still lingers it's truly apart of who we are now nothing could pry it from my aching bosom it remains connected to my soul like a permanent umbilical cord that day that way our souls met way before our hearts finally introducing our bodies to fulfill this sheer connection that lit up the sky by and by my smile and the wink of your eye why we are but lovers clinging vessels in time we now remain cherubs cherbium and seraphim beauty kelp our love an artform on display unmoved untouchable burning flame
