I was dealing with pain, the first night that I met her. I felt a melting on the air as we spoke to tell our stories at a party of mutual friends. Her mother schooled nodding head led the conversation easily. Above a long evening gown her words flowing apprehensively from a pale face long since kissed. That night easily marked the best time of my last two years. I haven't seen eyes I'd remember or really looked for since then. She was ex-wife strained, living in heart imposed exile just lately forcing herself from the past. But unavoidably her look explained her deference, open minded but struggling with divorce vibrations. Her recently sheltered heart she uncovered, searching within my eyes, estimating my worth I stopped and caught my loose tongue my heart leaping, I was headed into a world of pressing. The night and time were truly hers She'd climbed a wall and jumped from the past, a lifetime of work. leaning toward forever again wifely anxieties pushed from her mind. Now here she was a shy divorcee her children and her ideals both grown yet still she carried a vision for tenderness. I loved the trance,the spell, grasping warmth from my fire. I inhaled her searching words, absorbing her refreshed innocence she cut through my stale heart started my inner music. I moved closer, a love magnet caught up in her positive pull with my negative world about to sail toward a new horizon. The first of many dances she drew to me pressed into my arms by trusting choice. Swaying with my trembling touches I pulled her closer and brushed her cheek, scaring myself sick! - she smiled sweetly the feeling numbed my legs for a minute. The night now lost in fervor memories of a past closeness filling my head. The heat of her breathing added an ardent swell to my open breast. Grasping to deal with the nuance of her, my never again overcome by insight, an unexpected stabbing conclusion.... "She's got a hold on forever!" I pushed up closer to her blithe frame in her eyes I smiled to see her wish of want to cross forbidden borders I felt the silly schoolboy, rearing in me so suddenly My heart, strained to keep control soaring! Only we, knew what was happening, talking through the pale past We crossed the border of vulnerability together, We left together laughing past many astonished staring eyes. In the morning light I was blessed with her keen smile searching me, both of us still caressing, in the warm sweet spent silence of the night sharing the constant tangent of ripening love. She said sheepishly, "I'd almost forgotten!" and smiled again that afternight soothing smile that was six years ago. I'm still waking to that smile like a drink from a bottomless well every morning! I return that smile Wishing I could share with the world A smile for every alter life. |

ethome, this poem is mega cool. There are so many fascinating lines in it, but these two moved me extraordinarily. She was ex-wife strained, living in heart imposed exile write on! Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

 (smiles) I don't believe in reincarnation, but I believe in the alter life and there is a whole other blessing in each vision!

May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

I like the movement of this. The rediscovered passion and the coy caution that finally builds to a orgasmic conclusion. There is hope after all for the mere mortals among us who have never let go of hope. Thanks, SG |
