Eternal Embrace

it was a happenstance meeting and perchance my destiny, my fate or maybe it was to be my doom- I had been walking the woods alone and he came to me a handsome stranger, hypnotic . . . how I found myself in this place is uncertain but the walls are damp and musty and draped with moss I hear dripping water echoing from somewhere and I tremble yet, I somehow already love him . . . I brush his dank raven hair from his forehead the tendrils soft as a spiders web oh, surely this is reckless folly . . . slowly his kisses follow the contour of my neck and his whispers are like a drug to my soul my hair flows like a dark rive, and the promise between us are words unsaid . . . I sigh and moan, and my heart flutters and quivers with desire all thoughts of my life drift away all the scars have gone in this surreal love and I have left the ravaged garden that I called living red- a daub of blood trickles from his lips and I kiss the smear away hungrily . . . suddenly, a wafting gust of wind is whirling around us and we hover in a forever eternal embrace . . . _________________________ January 17, 2019 Poetry/Free Verse/Eternal Embrace Copyright Protected, ID 19-1105-728-02 All Rights Reserved.
