… and in one day life changed
when you
touched my caged heart
and breathed for me.
So I took a chance,
together we opened the door,
Overwhelmed
by your gentleness,
your affection,
the butter soft skin
and that Smile…
we soared
higher
‘etched in stone or scratched in the sand’
entwined, hopeful…
When you left,
the air became stale,
tinged
with a torrent of hurt
I, respectful of your
choices
and needs,
lay still,
lungs bursting,
my loins weep
and long for you
an ache that burns through
my day
and my skin stings
where your fingers once
aroused and soothed,
your lips, enflamed,
your words
filled me with laughter
and
fulfilled me with love
and hope.
And now,
our love ,
suspended
l miss your blue, blue eyes,
I still see their sadness,
I want to drain them of
your doubts and guilt,
and fill them with belief
whilst I am left sitting
on the sharp edge of
pain…
but yet,
still, I believe
