Craving Communion

I crave communion.
What is it?
I'm not sure exactly,
But I know I've had it.

Not merging exactly,
But definitely a complex
Almost spiritual closeness.
To feel with the other person
Openness at every level:
Intellectually, Emotionally, Physically, Sexually.

To feel appreciated, Safe.
To feel like
At last, I've come home.
A conversation going on Simultaneously
In words
In feelings
In touch
In trust.
It's not so hard to find Conversation just in words
Or sex without conversation.
Bringing the two together
With feelings
And then trust
Is very rare indeed.
Wanting communion Sometimes keeps me awake at night.
When I notice someone
Demonstrating sensitivity Of body, mind and heart,
My own sensitivity
And desire for communion
Powerfully Draws me to them.
