Since You Walked Away

Oh, I am not naïve anymore I have long turned a corner from our many foolish rendezvous, You can’t tempt me with your coy smiles anymore Nor draw me into your web of deceit with your endearing beguiling looks, I am immune to your magical silky soft touch, if you must know. And privy too I am to your collusion with the surreal sunsets and the ethereal moonlit nights, You cannot entice me anymore with your candle light trysts, Fragrance of your flowing tresses and the musky aroma of your body fail to imprison me in its magical vise; Now I am free of all carnal allure My spirit and my senses are pure, My savvy soul is rearing to soar… Oh, for heaven’s sake, Just show me your face once more, Since the day you walked away I am forlorn; Lo, I am sad to the core! ~12/15/15 ~Walking Away contest by Silent One
