Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time Far away on a magical island She met an attractive stranger His dark eyes mesmerized her His presence captivated her heart His lips touched her soul And sent her emotions into turmoil He made her feel special, unique and sexy He made her feel like she’s the only woman in the world for him She longed for him when they weren’t together She needed his touch when she couldn’t see him She craved his lips, seeking out all the adventurous places Wanted him caressing the voluptuous parts of her body She missed him when they couldn’t speak Then, it became quiet, no words exchanged, no glances of excitement In perspective she knew it was surreal She wanted him to whisk her away from adult responsibility From routine, from daily chores, from dissolving into humanity She wanted him to save her, to rescue her from boredom, to give her soul flight To be the light in her life, be it from a distance shining so clear, so bright But, she missed him, above all. She missed his sexiness, his jokes and his friendly, unresistable voice She missed him, for who she could be with him Freedom, he understood, words didn’t need to be explained She longed for that spark to return, that zest which she knew was still hidden in her spirit And he illuminated her being. But now it was dark. A dull sunset after a rainbow, glorious sunrise. Once, oh so once upon a time, they dreamed together, they carried each other’s burden They shared something needed and longed for by both They enjoyed each other’s company and felt special for a bit They made life easier, lighter, fun and adventurous together Once, maybe, once more it can be experienced on this earth, in this life…..
