Third Place
"I learned how to live unkissed, until . . ." a man offered me his hand in friendship friendship that became love so, many things in common shared hours talking, laughing, and oh yes, kissing oh, after losing my true love to death years ago I never imagined that love would find me again I had closed my heart to it but this man found the key that I had been hiding ~ "I filled the night's chalice with knots of desire" when we lay together his whispers caress my soul and his lips leave me breathless wanting to hold him close forever and never let go but I am afraid . . . "if time turns, will scars stain the sky (?)" can I let the ghost in my heart go - can I let myself live again - weeping into my pillow I recall another man whose kisses filled my heart . . . my soul he was my everything I follow a winding path to his place like a boulevard of the beloved and standing at his grave I hear his whisper from above ~ live my darling, oh live go on and know that I will always watch over you be happy and loved and by the way . . . . I like him too oh heavenly lover, I will hold onto your love always and today I am reminded of E.E. Cummings poem ~( do you remember we read the words together) "I carry your heart with me, ( I carry it in my heart ") . . . I will never forget you ~
