A Wish In Hand

I had it, almost
in the palm of my hand
or maybe in the taste on my lips.

But it was there,
in the way you held me
tight against you, our bodies pressed

In the open where
I felt you rise, your desires
mine too, as I reached to hold onto you.

Just a touch, of you, from you
sent sensations throughout,
my mind hearing only the pulsing of the flow.

The trees swayed to our whims,
sheltering us from view,
standing up for us, against the odds.

And I melted in the cool evening air
as your arms held me,
your warmth engulfed me.

The softness of your touch
overwhelmed, taking me to
another world, one I have long wished for.

I felt as though in Oz
and had followed the yellowed pathway
to settle by this babbling brook.

Hand in hand you had led me
to that place deep in heart
where thoughts of you have been resting,
awaiting this moment.

Secluded we were,
no beauty of poppy fields,
no wicked witches to reach out and taunt.

Only the splendor of your spell
and the rustling of woodland creatures
to be heard among the sounds
of two, breathing as one.

I had it, almost
in the palm of my hand,
in the taste on my lips
in the look in your eyes
in the reflection of your heart
until your spell was cast, no more
and you faded, in the evening breeze.

Wow! Maureen what a great piece of poetic work. So vivid and rich with visions of  
sensuality coming alive in a deep haunting dream............"until your spell was cast, no more.........and you faded, in the evening breeze."
This is a great one Moonchild....How did it slip down the board with no comments...I'm baffled.
Take care.........ethome..............

Marge..you mean there is a "me"..that shows itself..I have been told that  I could change the handle   many times and my words and writings could be identified anyhow.
..can't even hide when I want to

Which line is it that seperates fantasy from reality anyway?  I am really enjoying your creations.  I find them fresh and of a new spirit.

Mark, well in this case the story is true all except the ending when the spell was broken only because we had to part...for then...
and I did have "all" in my palm..'twasn't  an "almost"
~~shyly smiling and thanking you for your interesting thoughts.
