Boundary

For one too sweet for this world.

Boundary

 

 

I was a girl, just barely fifteen

You came and sat down beside me

So attentive, so charming

Your touch made me shiver

Your eyes were dark and disarming

 

I remember that smile

How your tongue darted out

Just before claiming my lips

You were a man of nineteen years

And I, prey caught in your grip

 

Then, everything spiraled

The world fell away

I was yours and you could have had me

But you stopped, and I thanked you

For you were a man, too gentle to break through that boundary

 

Time passed and we grew

I saw you again

Many times in those turbulent years

Your arms were so strong, your kisses so light

When I cried and poured out my fears

 

But it wasn’t until

I was truly a woman

That your heat fell upon me again

The seduction was simple

One touch, one kiss, then I was your lover and friend

 

I think fondly back

My memories rising

To greet me today and tomorrow

I miss you, beloved, I hope you are well

In that place that I can not follow

 

Be good with the Angels

Don’t drive too fast

On those long winding roads in the Heavens

Speed was your downfall, and you better believe

I’ll scold you next time we’re together

 

Now I must say farewell

My dark, honest Prince

Our time, though brief, I will treasure

Always remember the joy that we shared

And that I love you... forever and ever

This is true love written in the stars
Such beauty captures twin souls
flames burning as one-and its special
to be with the one holds the heart
captivated for eternity
Brilliant and Passionate
Sensuously enchanting wonders

Beautiful. The beginning reminded me of my own life. He was not as wise as your wonderful man. I want to read it over and over.

This was a great read. A lover lost in a car wreck. What a lovely and touching tribute to his memory and the love you still feel for him. Wonderful.
