My flame was on pilot
Dim and weary
I'd been through a
Crucible of pain
Weepy eyed and teary
drowning in sorrow
Forlorned & Dejected
having endured years
of hostility, criticism, & judgement
feeling unseen, unheard,
neglected, and rejected...
Ever seeking
to find a release
where the sorrow
would cease
My foundation
had crumbled
I was looking for places to go
New people to meet
and ways to grow
where that would lead me
I did not know...
Then, one day
on a small little
glowing square
I saw you there...
A beautiful face
and that smile
I lingered there
Looking at you
For a while...
Then, reading further,
I read..."Save me"
Two key words
which you said
reverberating
the longing
of wanting
something more
the right kind
of sentiment
I couldn't ignore
I was drawn in
By the kind look
and also, your saying
"Be kind when you can"
I felt like I'd found
The right kind of man
I took a leap of faith
on the day we first met
There were things
you said and did
I couldn't forget
in those fleeting
hours we spent
That first hug
in the cold
and a kiss
on the top
of my head
my curiosity
was replaced with
a deepening interest instead...
I was intrigued by you
so I went
for a second date
Where we learned more
about one another
and we ate
I felt comfortable
with you
and you offered me
to stay,
but I couldn't that day...
We were in each others arms
again, and I lingered a bit longer
something was growing within me
a little stronger...
It is said that
the third time's
the charm
I then invited you
to spend the night
something just felt right
You set me alight
and ignited my
Passionate flame
and I couldn't help
but tell
you felt
the same...
So just before the dawn
When I was ready
to move on,
I went to
the moon
with you
It started with
a sweet & tender kiss
which lead to bliss
&
now I've gone
to the place
where happiness
flits through
my beleaguered body
And coats me
like morning dew
Simply by
Being with you...
I surrender
and let go
let go of my fears
from the
turmoil
of past years
no longer rudderless
in an ocean of tears
You blew wind
In my sails
and set me back
on course
I feel drawn
to you
magnetically
from some
unseen force
Something
about us
just feels right
That's why we
became Lovers
that night
in the twilight
we'd begun
the dance
of taking a chance
on romance
and spent
two nights together
instead of one
and we had
a lot of fun!
I hadn't laughed
that way in a while!
You made me happy
You made me smile
you may not know
how much I needed
The passion you brought
It has been so long, I'd
almost forgot.
The fourth time
I saw you
we went for a walk...
We took turns
between kisses
and talks
Two more nights
of sharing time and space
Holding each other
and looking at
each other's face
at your place...
Then, we saw
countless starlings
Moving as one in the sky
before our time was at a close
and I said goodbye
I came to you again
for one more night
And it felt so right
we laid together again
in the sun
and we shared
future hopes
and we had
similar dreams
of living simply
within our means
we both wanted
a lot of the same things.
It illicited hopes
for what the future
might bring
and it made
my heart sing
I noticed
how you felt
somehow
forever familiar,
&
Finding you just
feels like home...
so I expressed how
I felt about
only being
with you
alone
That I desire
building the fire
:::on all levels;::
body and mind
heart and soul
fully exploring each other
a common goal...
You said I had
colored feathers
but I also see yours too
you gave me some of yours
And now I give
mine to you...
