Poem Title:
Poem
A very long time passed between us Before we met once again Quite unexpectedly surprisingly Exchanging very intense looks Harboring most hungry urges Possessing the wildest desires Feeling rebounding emotions Charged nerves electric and cosmic Greeting happily and nervously Walking closely together but unsure Interested and yet afraid of what Next could happen . . . A drink or two or three later at the bar Then a couple more sitting in the booth Losing the edge pent up tension from before Us both now quite talkative Us both now quite oblivious to time Us both now quite friendlier Us both now quite guarded still We now hold hands remembering Fun times much laughter much smiling Depressing times much hurt much unhappiness Like strangers in the night we really are But not attracted for the very first time Ready and wanting to start over again But not so sure of the “forever” part Interested and yet afraid of what Next could happen . . . And then—suddenly it magically happened . . . Like destiny taking charge at once Your touch my touch our touch one touch Emotions exploding eyes probing hands feeling Moving closer becoming one and one and one Breathing faint then excited and more so Crying sobbing laughing smiling revealing Our eyes locked rocked as one in a spiral Saying I missed you so much Saying you missed me so much A burning yearning desire a trembling fire Our lips meet sweetly hungrily with much intent Our desires at fever pitch ravenous and craving Igniting our passions on fire on fire on fire on fire Shutting out the rest of the world—be gone from us While crying holding caressing kissing openly and deeply We find each other all over again and again A giddy feeling of love lost yet love found again Asking why? How come? How could we? Why not? This time all is forgiven—our bond unbroken Our love rediscovered our lives restored Our personalities mesmerized as one Our minds in tune same time and channel Our emotions most electric and having fun Our oneness whole and most rewarding Our love and desire both for an eternity Our hearts' afire our hearts’ desire Our passions on fire my darling!
