Now As One

A collaboration with Matthew Carter!! I'm in Purple and Matt is in Red

The light shines on my face from the beautiful sunrise outside.

I walk by and see her basking in its glow.

I see him looking at me from afar, why doesn't he approach me already?

I wish to go to her, but she is unaware I am so shy

Should I approach him? Oh but he looks so mysterious, but he crosses my mind so often.

I wish she would talk to me, but I freeze in the power of her eyes.

How I want his strong arms around my waist and feel his breathe on my skin.

I hope she knows I long to know her, and have her for all that she is

I can't stand it anymore, I begin to walk towards him.

My heart beat increases and my nerves are on edge, I see her nearing me, this is what I have wanted, I tell myself to relax.

My heart races as I grow near, he looks more handsome close up than from afar. I begin to think of what to say to him

She is close now and oh such beauty I adore! I gather up my courage and take a step toward her.

"Hello" I say, "My name is Bethany and you are?"

"Hi Bethany, what a beautiful name. My name is James."

Oh his voice is so soft, yet strong. "Will you walk with me James?" I offer my hand just so I can feel his touch.

"I will." I take her soft hand, so smooth in mine. We bind fingers and head off along the sand, in the morning sun.

We continue our walk and his touch fills my heart with joy. My heart is still bruised from the last time I gave it away, hopefully he will be the one to help mend it.

I can sense a hurt inside of her, I long to be of help. I hope she takes my approaching her heart the right way.

I suddenly stop to look at the gorgeous view in front of us. "So why didn't you come up to me before? I see you sometimes staring."

"I guess...no, I don't know why. You are so beautiful and I really become shy when I see you, but believe me, I wanted to...all these times I wanted to."

I blushed when he spoke his words, I looked into his beautiful eyes and placed my hands onto his chest and leaned in to feel his lips upon my own.

Our lips met and finally earths nature had kissed the stars and there we were in each others arms, now as one.

"I wish she would talk to me, but I freeze in the power of her eyes.

How I want his strong arms around my waist and feel his breathe on my skin"

I liked this poem and a good collaberation well done to you both. So many things here. This could have been set in so many places. I like to think of it being set in the 1800's when society was to the fore. And the Daughter of the Earl had feelings for Gardener. But status and standing meant never the two shall meet. Until now. She sits on the wall in a secluded part of the garden away from prying eyes. He tends and she pretends. until fate calls them together. Like the way this poem leaves questions for the reader. Having met did their love survive the times. The hesitation in her voice as she prepares to give her heart again. The fragile heart which she has placed in his hands for safe keeping. That breaking of the ice when they both feel the same and understand they have felt the same for sometime. Through the ages I sense that not much has changed Women are still nervous and men are still hesitant when confronted by beauty i guess that is for fear of rejection or ridicule. I hope this poem will go some way to breaking the ice for both sides. Brilliant.

this is really great! and i like how it has them both kind of "meeting in the middle" so to speak. It needs to be that way more often, least in my view. Enjoyed
