~* A Union *~

Breath tickled her heart with a whisper.
“You’re so beautiful. Yes?”

As evening’s quicksilver slip slinks
To their bare floor of longing,
Two young lovers lay still together,
As a familiar breathlessness
Begins taking its hold on her.

Turning to search the starry vault out her window
For just one minuscule sign of compassion,
Needing just enough to rid herself of
Recurring, and perpetual destructive feelings.

The past haunts her, taunts her.
Her yesterdays block her tomorrows
With sour notes of an all too familiar melody.
Merciless they pluck at her heartstrings,
Strung so tight in fearful shame.

His moist lips melt into hers
Like the liquid silver that now
Curls around her ring finger,
Where only moments ago
It was encircled it with a diamond ring,
Promising her all of eternity.

Her breast heaves
Giving way to heart flutters.
So spastic in their frenzied flight,
She feels as if she is flying
Through an electric meteor shower.
Where the air is permeated
With promises of forever.

Giving herself now so freely knowing
As her body arches closer to her future,
Her mind is expelling her past,
They were meant to be melding into one.

A single tear escapes to land on a cheek.
Holding a face in her hands,
Softly tickling an ear with her hair,
She whispers,” You make me feel beautiful.
My answer is yes!”

"Her yesterdays block her tomorrows"
Why is it that the past and future always seem to call? I really like your poem, especially this line!

Sharon...wonderfully romantic! Sometimes, "yes", is the best and only answer.
