Were you first
To reach out touch
Or was it I?
As if it mattered
I think we both
Approached the bed
So tired
All we thought about was sleep

I recall us now
With vivid intensity
It seemed to me
To be an incredibly slow build
To a passion both wanted
And neither felt at the start

But I loved the way it grew
The change in pace was
Real, noticeable, audible
And then
Almost before we knew it
We were over the top
Savoring the crest
Sliding down
The delicious slope
Kicking off covers
Too hot for their warmth
Side by side
Fingers laced
Eye to eye
Still awake
Smiling

It was different
As it often is
But it was wonderful
As it always is
And I'm amazed.


~Time is too slow for those who wait,
too swift for those who fear,
too long for those who grieve,
too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love,
time is eternity.

With the speed of Maradona, the steadfastness of Beckenbauer and the finesse of Pele, he pulls a hat trick, but tenderly and deliciously, the accomplished (poet) that he is, and it was amazing.
Thank you for that lovely poem
Liz

how wonderful your words, but for years now I have enjoyed reading what you write....always "Amazed" by your words...*S*

Your aroma still lingers
when I stand there,
still on soft ground,
still lingers as the ocean mist
spreads you over me
I find peace ~LC~ 99

WOW!  Amazing use of words and form to explain how you were feeling.  I really felt the passion, the build from nothingness to intense energy.  Thank you.  That was absolutely inspiring.

Maradona, Won the World Cup (soccer) for Argentina with his lightening speed. He was indefensable
Beckenbauer(sp?) One of the greatest or the greatest German players ever. Held the German defense through many World Cups.
Pele, the greatest!
All of which is totally irrelevant to your poem, which is amazing.
And very beautiful
Liz
