Sometimes Love Deceives

when i close my eyes your memory seeps with the remora of mind i can feel your breath sigh with night's air as the draught from your stare allures me in the depths of your umber eyes the horripilation of flesh erupts beneath your touch as i rise and fall within the cimmerian shade that night often brings i awake trembling in mind's glimpse yet you still linger in the corner of bluest depths trickling down like soft rain upon my lips as memories seep

Congratulations on your win. A good memory or a bad one is what life is made up of. It is better to keep the good ones and let the bad ones go. I know that can be easier said than done. I have lived it. Have a blessed day and weekend........

The darkness of night sometimes brings back vivid memories of past relationships both good and bad. This is a wonderful description of such a memory, Sandy. Beautifully penned my friend. John

Memories always come to life most vivid in the dark ... sometimes you have to ask how something so beautiful can turn so bad ... hugs :)

Wondous writing dearest, Sandra. True love never deceives but we deceive ourselves when we mistake something as true love! Bless you!
