Constance's 'Abandon' Contest * May 20, 2025
"Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused. — Paulo Coelho When first I'd peered into his dark brooding eyes there was an undercurrent, fathoms deep pulling me in. A storm brewed inside of me and each time we met I submitted to my desires and he to his, without regret. To have denied it would have destroyed us. He was never mine for the taking but it was only for him that my heart ached. We shared a passion, unrestrained— untamed. We loved with wild abandon. There was lightning between us. Thunder roared in my head with each deepened kiss. I heard it in his breathless sighs— felt it when his fingertips danced across my skin. It was a serenade of lovers that we sang together as if each time was a renewal, an awakening of Spring. Time rushed in months—years spilled in an hourglass. The feast is still as sweet, the passion as strong. We'll not be deprived the love we savor with wild abandon nor the silent whispers to each other's hearts.
