Memory's Pearl.

 

 

Memory's Pearl.

 

She had eaten
the proof of amour's iridescence,
taken love's juice 
and emptied its cup to the dregs.
She, sweetened by
patience the taste of long distance,
wasted no chances 
to bake contact's waited-for bread.
She had embraced 
given gold of a satisfied closeness,
quenched deepest thirst
then her needs invaded no more.
She feasted at tables
laden with late-made approaches
and imbibed ready 
ripened affection as never before.
She knew only
once close romance of a life-time
therefore memory's 
pearl she now wears with a smile.
