Without Losing

Sensations tickle a memory’s edge

closed eyes can see the outline of the place

we find ourselves, lost to everyone else.

Have I been here before-have you ever?

Uncharted waters run beneath our feet.

We’re ankle deep in life’s passionate kiss

oblivious-but not entirely.

Reality circles and we’re captured

torn between this embrace and the other

side of where we were before it began.

Is there such a place inside fantasy

that will allow us the freedom to dream

and live alongside the rest of the world

without losing -to memory- passion?
