.:.The Meeting Before Last.:.

.:.One will Never Leave the other, not even for a Moment.:.

   In the Era of the Lasting Decades during the 1700’s
 In the Vicinity of Ireland. .
     I was Present on the Land of a Festival, 
   One that I would not Bear my Absence of.
    It was in the Midst of Death, 
This Significance was not of Darkness,
  But of a Curiosity.
     I Found a Hidden Depth in the Echoes of it. .
As the thoughts would Engulf me,
 I Once Wrote of this Enlightenment.
   In the Time of the Festival’s End,
I would Rest in my long Woven Dress
Of a Dark Tinge Beneath 
  That Wise Oak Tree of Life. .
    The Sky had Fallen into Twilight.
 My Eyes were Drawn to a Dim Figure in the Night. .
  Ambling Near to the Tree.
   The Befall of my Consciousness Failed,
         But if I had felt the Aroma there in that Moment,
   I would have Sensed it then of what I Know now. .
       They Rested on the opposite side of the Tree.
           I remained Distant from Awareness,
        Until I Believe he drew in closer to me. .
         In quite an Enigmatic way.
      I began to Feel the Core of His Presence,
        He brought his head up to the bicep of my arm. .
            As if He were Breathing in a Whiff of my Essence.
          Still a Silence.
    My Heart Grew to the Beat of a Fervid Wave
   In the Oddity of such Intimacy in this Stranger.
        He Gradually lifted His Head at a Higher Distance,
   Now Breathing in the Fragrance of the Skin on my neck.
        Our Touch began to Tremble,
     In the Sanctuary of Our Meeting.
         My hand Felt His Face, my Words did not Sound. .
       Because He Finished with,
        “I know. . “
       We Ended up standing Beneath that large Oak Tree.
His Arms would Quiver, as they Held onto 
     The lower part of my back,
  Touching the Endless buttons of my Dress.
   The Shiver in His Spine Rushed through mine.
My hands were Holding onto the back of His neck,
  With the Embrace of a Bond Between Two Souls that Cherishes
                    The Whole Soul we share.
     He would bear a Black frock coat,
   With a Gray waistcoat underneath.
His head Fell to my shoulder, as mine Fell to His.
            Only One Leaf Fell from that Wise Oak Tree,
    It was of two Colors, but of One Stem.
 Our Interest in the Festival of Death began
   The Divine & Sacred Celebration on 
      This Twilight.
   And in the Night we Danced. .
 To an Everlasting Melody 
     That Trembles Within Our Whole Soul.
                    I Felt Me. .
                      As You Felt You. .

    It sounds like you met someone who was more than a soul mate, but one who actually shared your soul. Perhaps the intertwining of a soul's light and dark sides? Beautifully written, Lynette, and quite thought provoking! I love the setting of nightfall after the festival ends. Love, Carolyn

    LYnette, this is one of your BEST. It really got going when they were under the tree. You showed really great eroticism there. Nice and subtle, not overpowering, but sexual. I really liked it, especially the second half. Luv, andrea

    From where do you pull your ideas? I have read your poems as you post them, and a bunch of them I do not understand; and not from any of your faults, but, because I am too dense ; D. Chris
