He still can’t call to mind their first meeting But as they saw each other more frequently She spoke to him in the inaudible language of her eyes And was bewitched by the clear glow on her face Like magnet to a piece of metal, he was drawn to her. When she whispered love’s veiled message With haunting echoes faintly singing He found nothing to match her melodic musing And felt his desires taking a headlong ride His heart opening to the seamless web of dreams Never had he known love’s balmy touch before. As her words fell on him like ambrosia from heaven, Sweet and fragrant sensations danced within his brain A pleasant ache tickled him from inside And he exploded with an inexpressible yearning But when he talked of living as man and wife, She kept a clever silence, never letting her heart out She was like a clam tightly sealed, not opening up He wondered if their love was dripping away like wax How he wished she had unplugged and told it like it is!

A story of a shortened love affair, it was her alluring nature, and no one can stop it. Congratulations Valsa!

A lovely write..the angst between two well-rounded characters. She is a mystery.

An healthy young man wakes up primed for action, so he is easy prey for any woman no matter what her motives might be. Women naturally respond by testing their lure, keeping poets busy even before one could write! Enjoyed, Valsa! Aloha!

Valsa, you have done an outstanding job of telling a story about love. She wasn't in a hurry to make a decision about her future. Excellent submission for the contest; I admire those that don't sugarcoat the truth and don't attempt to deceive others.

She didn't want to rush into commitment -- a story of love so well conveyed, Valsa. Best to you.

This is So good and So well written, Valsa. Some people hold back and never come clean with their thoughts. Best wishes in the contest. Charlie

I felt the man was too egoistic. He never romanced much and when he felt love emotions, marriage was not even mentioned. Great emotions in this poem.
