She was sprite, elf, wild, untamed:
she loved to dance to danger’s beat,
always one foot on the very edge of life.
Thus I encountered my mystic love,
in a place of her own devising.

I knew any love she expressed,
even from the depth of her heart,
would be as fleeting as a desert storm;
that she would fade away as a season;
as a summer wind.

I needed the experience offered
of a sacred moment of passion:
I boldly stepped within the circle
she drew for the daring in the sand of her life.

Though the wind blows cold now,
and the love I knew, beyond the farthest star;
though I walk in emptiness and pain
of a fire no longer kindled, yet still burning,
I remain without regret
in the memory we created and lived.

Now I too can dance with danger;
can live on the razor's edge:
from her I learned to disregard caution.
The past is the springboard,
the future,  free to look to its own ends:
I can but live for the moment.

I knew heaven in her season of passion,
in her laughter and her kisses:
why refuse a taste of hell now?
My life belongs to that untamed past
where she still dances in kinetic waves
but my soul soars on winds of eternity
where I surely will recognize her again...

very intriguing and visual poem me friend.

your poem invites and when one answers and enters in, there is nothing to disappoint.

never try to teach a pig to sing
it wastes your time AND annoys the pig

Ahhh, and that is the blessing of having known love~

Your words are filled with the magic of lovers actions to live forever in the memories we have of those we have loved without earthly limits...I was taken on a journey of remembered love that stays within my heart...alive as long as I live....Stunning...dear friend...simply stunning...*big hugs*
