He Visits Regularly

He visits regularly.
Once a week in fact.
Reverberating in russet hues.
Radiating,
overtones,
undertones,
Relentless love.

He communicates gently,
a glance,
a touch,
As though oceans lie between us.
Sometimes he tells me;
“I love you Trace” he says.
Apologetically.

We dance together,
apart,
souls intertwining,
mesmerizing.
Sweetest symphony,
of silent yearning.
Pure longing.

Eyes open.
Realizing.
Agonizing.
Shut stormy shades!
Now; veiled denying
(A complicated concerto
this karmic innuendo).

And yet,
My love
(her love)
He visits regularly…

Thanks for the compliments! It's actually not about a married man- it's about a reoccurring dream that has been plaguing me of late!

The cherry was well-deserved :) This poem has a great sense of rhythm throughout; particularly the third stanza:

'We dance together,
apart,
souls intertwining,
mesmerizing.
Sweetest symphony,
of silent yearning.
Pure longing.'

Well done!
