On the Uphill by Alison McKenzieI wait for your breath,
The hint of it penetrating my awareness
Catching my expectations offguard
Startling my reality with your being.
Because I have my mountains to climb,
Every day,
Short of breath on the inclines
And you are relief.
Should I discover our paths running parallel
For a moment or a lifetime,
I want to bask
In your every ray,
Saturated in our mutual affection,
Appreciating every nuance,
Every orgasmic crescendo
Whether we create or experience them accidentally.
Life is short,
And I dont think our moments are frivolous -
Not in these times.
