intimacy is to mean?

 

intimacy is not about audience participation, 

yet the approach to intimacy

has its wading-in stages.

how is that so?

is this self-intimacy, daring to be shared

or is this a communing of a bond being discovered

through the use of attraction, 

specifics as approving,

a commoning of circumstance,

the wherewithal of a hunger 

yet undefined but present?

it's definitely not a peek show as permission.

surely there is mind stir beforehand,

possibly even flutterings of the heart

as determined as attraction.

but intimacy, forthright and full-blown?

so when all the behaviors are revealed

and all the topics have been adjusted for

and we are down to the capture of the presence of spirit,

does intimacy finally reveal the golden light?

or are we in an endless maze of life narratives?

is this intimacy really just a mirror of self-reflection,

a prompting to be as perceived becomes a compromise

or to whittle away at one's false sense 

in the presence of another, given their eyes to see?

is intimacy actually working towards bliss-abound,

the commingle larger than self could privately obtain?

is intimacy when two rivers meet

and they work out their temperature differences, 

their energetic flows, and their toxins within their carriages,

while heading off in a somewhat same direction?

intimacy, it can't be of comparative truth and survive.

for values will escalate into opinions, 

into positions taken,

into circumstances of avoidance 

and anxiety's within-ness.

maybe intimacy is an audience term

for those who were never invited or showed up there.

maybe it's a drive-by term of usage

from varying spectator viewpoints.

if intimacy has a fire,

then someone had to be gathering the kindling to be used.

someone had to be made of either flint or steel.

these someones had to have the presence 

of a magnet force as an operational physics of being.

but then, intimacy can just be a broad-based approach.

just a face to face as a fieldwork process of existence.

but the impetus of intimacy seems to have a want,

sort of like when sex isn't sex any more

but a deeper desire to hunt down the essence of being,

to get to the energetic truth beyond behavioral represent.

to get to where feeling is sourced 

and possibly to discover one's own essence of being

as if that is consciously possible.

I feel that intimacy is a call to arms,

a beckoning from the beyond

and a means of approach.

it certainly isn't the speak of it,

not even sure its the physical of it.

but the feel and the calling dwell deeply within.

and the word intimacy is supposed to represent? . . .
