There Was a Time

There was a time...of endless love 

Where our senses were abandoned
and emotions fluttered like wings
through welcomed spaces...one after another

Where we claimed the right to rip away the curtain
and lay our faces into the winds seeking emotions unexplored
in a timeless dance of hungry passions

Where we fell to Earth from thirst quenching kisses
melting our lips with imagination

Our journey hurled us into tomorrows
where we lit our veins in flames of passion
and burned the fingers of our hearts on the hot ashes of love
making imprints of memories from fiery moments
that dripped upon our skin like morning dew

That dried and disappeared into unknown realms
of what could have been had we harnessed the power of love
which left us exhausted and tarnished
by stains of unfulfilled promises when we touched each other's soul
and found it was all an illusion

Which left us waiting for one last tear... that would never come

As we departed we knew... we would never pass this way again

2/5/19... contest One last tear

Oh how sad, such an unfortunate ending, that two lovers would not meet again, due to broken promises... Congratulations on your placement in the contest..
