After the Divide

Your oval face is framed by bouncy curls you smile as if only for me how I wish I could run my fingers through those curls, gently move the ones That’s shading your hazel eyes from the world, your bare shoulders an invitation to caress your soft smooth skin that shimmers in harmony with the lighting of the room everyone seems to fade away while my eyes see only you the vision conjures thoughts of my favourite place, our secret place where we would undress each other slowly cover each other with fervour kisses your lips would pursue the trail left by your fingers every touch would awaken my senses the words you whisper make love to my mind as your touch made love to my body a fool’s wish made in madness, that we could have those moments back a wish that was not meant to be, your fire has died for me... My replacement found I hope he makes you happy I wish you well or maybe not it hurts like hell... “it’s not something you did or didn’t do it’s something I did or didn’t do” That was your final words as you closed the door On our love, on our secret place… See this face? I have survived my heart is still beating it has not stopped there is life after you...
