You are always on my mind.

Love may be gone. The tattoos of love will always be with us

              


     






You will always be on my mind

The splendor of true love,
Where you allow the wall of fear to fall completely down.
Allowing emotion and desire to take two people away to finding the real
pleasures learn by the burning candles and sweet red wine.

We touched our wine glasses.
Held our kisses deep and long.
The locked door leaving us protected and safe.
In a dreamer's paradise.

The coldness of Winter brought her to me.
She wanted someone to read poetry to her and keep her warm.
I wanted someone to give me hope and strength. 

I remembered she came to me late in the evening.
Holding wine coolers and desired conversation.
Dressed like a woman and
the innocence of a child wanting me to open my door for her.

I saw a devil dressed in a sexy black dress with a hunger that
I could not control.
I watch her take off her coat. Allowing my eyes to see her beautiful 
young body. The short skirt allowed me the pleasure of seeing her long legs.
I told her. "Sometime better not to start something we cannot stop. "
 
She came to me. She went to her knees. Laid her long red hair across my lap. 
Raised her face to me. I looked into clear blue eyes and lost control.
She was just a baby. Nineteen and fearless. I was still young and strong.

I knew if you start a fire you can't put out.
The final act will be sadness.

She took my hands and kissed them.
She whispered. "You have been so kind to me. Had great patience being my
teacher at work. I know you desire me. I see how you look at me. I want someone to
show me the world. Teach me pleasure and pain. Show me what love is supposed
to be. I want a man's hands on my body. Not a boy's."

I asked for a wine cooler.  Told her. "I don't know".

She gave me sweet kisses and took my hands. She wrapped her arms around me.
Asked. "Should I go?"

I said "no".

The cold of Winter was blowing a gentle northern breeze.
I looked out at my skylight.
I prayed not to make a fool's wish tonight.

Two lovers begin a new journey.
When passion and desire come. Very hard to stop.
The beauty of the first kiss. The first caress. The first taste of a lover's skin.
Stays with you forever.

I knew already. "Fine line between sex and love. Sex creates peace for the body.
Love creates peace for the soul. When you dance with the young in heart, pleasure is the desire, and love is not so important."

I still remember the love making. Wasn't for pleasure. Was to fix a desire that grew with each touch. Her hunger grew till one day, early in the Spring, she left me. I knew the day would come. Some woman are to be held forever. Some are to be held for a moment.

I allowed her to leave. I knew it was better to be kind in the goodbye.  My heart was gone and I found little solitude in my life. I joined a war to escape her memory.

Funny, life is a circle. We met two more times. We had a strange bond. 
Even today, years later. I wish to touch our glasses  filled with sweet red wine. Touch her perfect body till the morning light. Some dreams become nightmares. Then the nightmares become sweet dreams.

I told her often over the year. "You are always on my mind."

Relationships are give and take and the right balance makes both feel complete...

Once someone touches our heart then they will always be there.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A created mesh of harboured feeling that exudes to the surface even in once as strong as you my friend, good read.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

I adore these lines......... Sex create peace for the body. Love create peace for the soul. Such a tremendous truth penned here in this wonderful poem

[Amber "Victoriomantic" ..]

This poem was beautiful. I especially liked the contrasts between nightmares/sweet dreams. The passage which spoke out to me the loudest was
"Sex create peace for the body.
Love create peace for the soul."
That is very true; and yet, it is possible to combine the two, if you are lucky.

No errors, as such, although "lovers" in the line "Two lover's begin a new journey" doesn't need an apostrophe as it is a plural rather than a denotion of ownership. Easy mistake to make, and doesn't detract from the beauty and feel of the poem.

[Jaweena...Eileen Quinta..]

Nizhoni...beautiful love story! Some experiences in our past will haunt us for years don't they? Especialy those first loves...such freedom to give (oneself) over unrestrainedly and without all the baggage we take on later in life! Love is a rare gift, timing has to be right, so many things have to line up to make it work! some people can never commit.
You are a great storyteller my friend, at least you lived it! I almost feel like this needed a sequel hahaha....

[susanne]

Love this story. Your strength of character is so evident throughout your writing.There is so much wisdom here.

[Cecelia]

The beauty of a long life is having all the stored memories to draw from...enjoyed this one..a wonderful story of love told beautifully from a wizened perspective.

[Sweet_pale_cacophony]

It takes much to create a beautiful moment.Life is an illusion..its jewels are the moments we create.
You write with such candor and such an open heart..lovely write.

[Linear]

Love can be for good but often It's a butterfly landing here and there. But once love lays its hand upon your heart, you won't ever forget her, but in her eyes you see nothing no sign of love behind those tears, yet you still love her.

Great expressions of love and the heartache it can bring. Well done.

[HorrorMaster]

very cute

I love the way your writing makes me feel. I think the small errors make it perfect, showing that imperfection can be more beautiful than anything we consider "perfect." Very touching poem, really makes me think about love and relationships in a new view.
