Connection Poem by david e golledge

It seems in retrospect
That all past want was
stupid and hollow.
Feeling was there but some divide
Which should have been absent
Was not.

She fills in the gaps.
She completes the picture.

She exists in places
I was unaware I had.
She is so deeply embedded in those places
I could not hope to escape her influence.

Nor would I want to.

We are connected,
Embroiled in a bond
That is almost symbiotic.

We have become inter-dependent.
I am no longer a single unit
Yet I have never experienced such
Freeness of heart.

Time passes in double time
When I am surrounded by her presence.
For the first time in my life
Time has the power to frighten
And paralyse.

It seems in retrospect
That all past desire was
fleeting and shallow.

I have never been so hungry.
