Rhapsody of Love

I will write a few gathered words about my love, from long, long ago; and will collect my tears in a big glass jar. That's a lovely dress, he had said- winking, oh, how our bodies fit together like puzzle pieces, as he whispered in my ear sexy things; and when he touched me, I was on fire, my body igniting with an ache. And I breathe him in, 'till we are lost in a wild whirlwind of lust and passion. The sheets were in a tangle and we were breathless, and we knew our love was eternal. I wanted to be sheltered in his arms forever, ever, as we talked softly for hours, hours and hours; oh, I had found my safe sanctuary in his beating heart, a refuge in his soul and shelter from my pain. I wish that I could freeze time and be with him still, but a different plan was written in the book of life. Oh, I go to his tomb still, with red roses each Valentine . . . ______________________________ February 14, 2019 Poetry/Free Verse/Rhapsody of Love Copyright Protected, ID 19-1114-929-02 All Rights Reserved.
