Graveyard

Thinking about us alone together in the graveyard...
Cold granite, warm skin, soft lips, hard masculintiy..
My mind is racing with tantalizing consiousness of you..
The scent of peaceful quiet and foreverness,
The stillness quieting my thoughts.. all along your entire presence quiets my spirit and this neverending restlessness that haunts me...
Just to have you near me,,, so still is my heart...
Almost as death that is around us.. so am I, at long last..
I am comforted,,, a undenied sense of my own mortality,
Yet in your kiss I am Immortal,
Sands of time spilling, falling, seeping through my hands,
I once fumbled to catch it, to hold, to keep it safe,
Now I long to feel it slipping through my fingers,
With this newfound intoxication, to experience every grain of sand, in every moment that consists of you,
I watch the sand disappear into forever away from me
Knowing that it is beautiful, and I am no longer sad to see it go...
For with every particle that I allow to pass out of my reach, I make room for more, even more precious and more full of life than the other.
If I do not let it go, then I make no room for others,
Each passing day is a new beginning of a different life..
Every morning is a start of what will soon be the end..
And I long to cherish every moment that may pass through my fingers... and memorize each piece, forever holding it in my memory.. but only in my memory...
It must be set free..
Just as you make me feel when we are together.. free..
And I will remember all of these moments,,
Be it simple to complex converstations,
Moments wrapped in passion or maybe even tender touches amongst the stone markers..
I will remember you..
