       “WATERFALLS AND YOU”

I walk down this path in search of you,
Stumbling along over this ground.
The trees were staring at me, and dancing with the wind,
A love to find one day perhaps, but then again it may never be found.

At the end of the path I saw you there,
Under the waterfalls, naked, and I stared.
The sun shone on you through the trees,
In my heart knowing that I still cared.

A stream of water cascading over your presence,
Showers wet, and running through your hair.
Shining and sparkling like diamonds in the sunlight,
Remembering all those nights when I stared.

Your head tilted back to show your soft gentle lips,
There was a time when I knew them so well.
But now they were moist from the droplets that fondled you,
No, not moist from mine, as these lips now would never tell.

Your shoulders glistened with the moisture,
From the spray high up above,
And your breasts soft with the mist,
Tender and sweet like turtledoves.

As the stream flowing over the falls caressed you,
Your body was soaked through and through.
I could see your long legs reflecting the light,
Of the rays of the morning sun that was wooing you.

I called your name and you came out of the flow,
Walking towards me tenderly and meek.
We embraced and I was at a loss to where you had gone,
Your fingers hard against my lips, I can’t speak.

You lay with me, touching, holding so tight,
But what madness this was to meet you again face to face.
Your lips held to mine with all your temptations,
Inviting, daring, and teasing me, with your warmest embrace.

There would be no turning back I knew it now,
From passions released this morning with you.
You cried to me with all of your delight,
And I again felt all the despair that I knew.

We slept in loving arms that night,
Knowing that when I closed my eyes.
You would leave me once again my love,
And in my heart I would never know why.

And so again, I walk down this path, searching for you,
Stumbling along over this ground.
The trees were still staring at me, and dancing with the wind,
A love to find one day perhaps, but then again it may never be found.

Sunny1,
Oh my goodness, now I've done it, a cold shower no less!! I do look forward to your replies, as you know, and they always tell how one of my writings really are. Thank you very much Sunny. I always wanted to write something special, and maybe just this once I have.

Bill~
Simply seductively sensual ...
stunning!

'I could see your long legs reflecting the light,
Of the rays of the morning sun that was wooing you.'

You definitely 'wooed' me with this
presentation of beauty in it's flow.

Marge,
Geez, I don't know what to say except to thank you for liking my poem. What a rush to hear words from you like this, especially when I am not that experienced at writing.


RainbowGirl

I can share a whole box with you if you need them. Just kidding. Thanks for reading this poem of mine, and for your tender response that has so very much meaning to me.

I think you captured what is probably the hardest part of love...being able to let go...."a love to find one day perhaps,but then again it may never be found."

never say never
