R Story Is Not Over
There is no moon tonight
Yet romance dances in the quiet air
There is no sunlight...in which we can bask
But there is our incredible light
Shining in me for you
As if it were the first kiss
The first embrace
My God
You are upon me in an embrace
Your fore head touches mine and I know your love is true
Honest pure absolute
I know our love never ever lied
It was quiet when it needed to be quiet
But our love was like a flood
A cascading torrent
A magnificent fire
It engulfed me
Refused me
Owned me
But it also fed me...
Nurtured me...grew me like a flower or an herb
From seed
In this garden
Please take your time
All the time you need
I will wait quietly like a seed for your water to come
