Questions Seeking Answers









Questions Seeking Answers


You ask
And wait silently
For my answer
But I have none to give
Only hope to hope on
And wishes to wish on
And prayers to pray.

I don't know
Any more than you do
What tomorrow holds
Or what God grants
Or fate brings..........
Up until now
There has been no fairy tale
Or destined quest
Or dream come true
For me
And without question, you.

For only hearts
That have been broken
And discarded and dis-enchanted
Can ask the questions 
That you ask
Only souls that have been disappointed
And betrayed and un-restored
Can venture into that mire of uncertainty
And still risk losing it all once more.

Therefore, let us stay here
In this moment,
In this second that we have been granted
The best of all seconds among minutes and hours
And weeks and months and years of years:
This room full of love
And this endless kiss
This sweet satisfaction
And passionate bliss
It will not be enough for tomorrow, no
Nor any lonely day or night after that....
But it is enough for now.

The blazing fire cools
Compared to your touch
The wine sours
Compared to your kiss
The furs we lie on
Seem rough
Compared to your bare chest
And my silkened skin
That pulls you to me in hunger.

I cannot answer your questions, my love
But I can confess with candid heart
And willing soul..........
That I desire to know those answers
Just as much as you do
Perhaps, more
Perhaps, more...........
And perhaps tomorrow
Will bring us those answers
In one form or another.

Till then, hold me
Kiss mebend me to your will
For I think you will find
That your will is my will
And mine, yours
As it always has been
And was in forgotten dreams
And is now, in this delicate
And beautiful moment.

For when you hold me
Close against your heart like this,
And kiss me tenderly like that,
And our eyes melt into one another's this way,
I can believe in fairytales once more
And destined quests and dreams that come true
Even if they never came true before......

And I can forget those questions
In search of answers that I don't know now
Because all that matters to me in all the world
Is this, this moment lying here with you
Feeling like a princess in the arms of a prince
Who has just inherited the kingdom
That was made with my love.
