Forgotten Lands

by Alisa Js

on a good day
you're so kind,
extraordinarily sweet
you catch me by suprise,
and I have to watch myself to guard within
not to tumble fast ...

your words, they comfort
they recognize
this tenderness I hide ...

I know we're friends
and those boundary lines
looming ever present,
get in the way of certain bliss
I see teasing from those sidelines
I feel whenever we speak,
I breathe each time
my thoughts turn toward
those forbidden realms,
we traveled once
in a foreign land

forgotten,
but not, by me ...

Ah, those lands have ships which pass between, carrying emotion and tenderness, those lands have boarders which are often times carefully opened to the other, each stands for a moment upon the others shore, in shared tenderness. Then there is the thing about murder of the heart - that cuts with words. Either forgot, either will ever forget...but, one is diligent the other unaware, for his boarders waver with the wind. She knows it...((((((((HUGS))))))))))))

Perhaps the very existence of the platonic boundary is complicit in the allure? Kinda like telling a child the cookie jar is off limits. An interesting topic wrapped in beautiful words, Alisa.
