We entered this earthly stage together many years ago. Act one Scene one: Our love seemed “all systems go.” You touched my heart with your soulful voice. Ever glad you and I made the right choice. The sight of you walking toward me on the street, My heart pulsed with an almighty beat. The gut-wrenching ache was filled with despair, When I knew you should be, but you weren't there. You sent shivers down my spine, In the glorious knowledge you were mine. I trembled when our lips met in a passionate kiss. That sensuous feeling, I never wanted to miss. When you took me in your arms to hold me tight, I experienced all the sensation of a lover’s delight. Restful feeling, I had when we lay together at night. Weary from the day’s work we had put out of sight. Our bodies in slumber gently entwined. Waking with feeling of ecstasy overwhelmed my mind. I knew another like you I could never find. So strong and masterful yet gentle and kind. When we laughed together it was as if we were one. Joined in happiness having so much fun. When you needed me, I enjoyed helping you. Working together as if that's what we were meant to do. When you were hurt the darkest surge within me to pray. That our dear Lord would take your pain away. And while we are on that subject when we prayed to Him above. I felt that oneness with you as we offered God our love. You completed me and made me whole; you were my light. My darling you are within me, though I am without your tonight. Now it’s time for the final scene and to close the curtain, Our play’s been a success. Standing ovation, that’s for certain.

The photo was perfect for the poem, SV. Easy to see why this was a winner. Riveting love story ... passion, romance, and being there for each other in trying times, your poem had it all. I enjoyed reading your work of art. I'll have to read more of your poetry as I find time. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

The picture was "doctored" to suit the poem Bill. I added the words on the billboard. I often alter the pictures to suit my poem. The judges don't see them but it adds a touch to the poem for the other readers. Again thank you for your wonderful words. Best wishes SV

Speaks Volumes: you deserve your first place. I hope you know that the administration list all no 1 placings in alphabetical order. If one day I get a no 1 place it will be put last because of my name Victor. Your poem is well-conceived and deserves your standing ovation. Alas I came second. Shows I'm getting old and my mu muse is leaving me. Victor.

Wins dont please me near as much as the comments friends and fellow poets leave for me to read, Victor. Always being last makes my name easy to find, ( or not find! ) lol. Your 2nd place is not something to be disappoined about, but maybe Felicity should have been your F word. Its a beautiful poem. Thank you for your comment.

In 52 years Andrea, with the same bloke, its true there would have been a touch of all these feelings, but not all at once, as nice as it sounds. Thank you for your sweet comment. Very frequently there is a "touch" of fiction in most of my poems.

With exceptional wording and imagery, SV, you have created a fantastic poem that stands among your best works. The profound loss of a cherished loved one is conveyed with brave and honest writing, resulting in a masterpiece of poetry that is both sensitive and brilliant. This is a truly great achievement, and my friend you're blessed to have created it. This is a fav.
