Your lips,
how they intrigue me,
soft, supple, seductive, in a sensual way, the colouring and texture,
the image of rose-red, I find them enticing,
alluring,
the curvature of their
shape,
forming words you oft spoke. To have softly
caressed them with
a kiss…
To have been left breathless, struggling to breathe, as I gazed
at your closed eyes and felt the warmth
of your touch…
It seemed I was in heaven, floating on a wisp of air…
You oft left me quite inebriated, and I, having no recollection
of my present state of mind as I slipped in and out of consciousness, leaving me a perfect
candidate for further
review.
Had I gained your confidence, regarding my reckless behavior.?
It did cause you concern as you sifted through
the occurrences which oft presented
themselves
in a most peculiar fashion. Which you, nor would I rather not discuss, realizing the sheer magnitude. And what
negative responses are sure to
arrive.
And, I am sure, will have been found quite unpleasant…
A romantic interlude, my thoughts,
as I reread your lightly
scented letter;
a reminder of your favourite perfume whilst retracing your tears
which have left their stain upon the page…
Every tear wept, an emotion, religiously, I have kept
within my reliquary of memories.
You were once my one
and only
love.
An admission, of which I regret having revealed, realising
the unfathomable depths of my loneliness, reclusive,
as I have become…
Remembering how difficult it was to have let go
of the remembrance
of you.
