We sat together,
Only our outer
Thighs touching
Through layers
Of clothing
Put there to protect
Our defenseless
Senses…

You didn’t know me
And I imagined
I knew you, as we
Shared the ride
From airport to
Hotel

The ride was short,
Made shorter by
What I imagined
About us…

Quiet looks…
Gentle touches…
The heat in
Pealing off
Layers of
Pretense…

When we pulled
Into the circular drive
Lit with yellow orange
Light that flattered
Nothing, I almost
Spoke….

Almost…
But you turned
And walked quickly
To the front desk
Without a glance
My way….

I waited till you
Were through
And tried to stand
In the space that
Still contained
The scent of you…

Hoping to take at
Least that essence
To bed with me.

There are those moments in life, where you see hope in the form of a walking miracle, and images such as this

exist.

This is excellent.

You've captured this moment so very well... whether fleeting fancy or missed opportunity is left for wonder. *S* I like this a lot! *S*

across the land of dreams. In your heart, I'd always be.

===================

You have described this so well....... Captured me within the scene you've presented........
I wonder now if I'd ever get through such a scene myself......

Thank you Ron.....
*******************************

It's only me.......only me
I hope that would suffice eternally

{{to cross a sea of wonder, and hold close at heart all dreams}}
