romance

In my head,

I see her silhouette

framed

in a darkened doorway

gesturing insecurely

for permission

to come in,

as if she’d forgotten

we’d been

right here

before.

THAT

was a lifetime ago.

The interim years

have given us more

to look upon,

to touch

and to hold,

but still

somehow

we are drawn

together

by souls

merciless time has failed

to sever

completely.

I

am still

unsure –

as she approaches

and closes the door

behind her –

why

she needed

to meet me

discreetly

at this obscene hour.

Unsure

of whether agreeing

empowers

guardian angels

or demons,

blessings or curses

the mixing of our genes in the past

now brings

to fruition.

Unsure

this throat probing kissing

she is assaulting me with

is worth it.

Life

has never been perfect,

just stable

in her absence,

and I enjoy my stability.

This reminder

of her tongue’s agility

filling me with

judgment lapses –

rapid firing synapses.

My willpower

well out of practice

over the years –

haven’t needed it

since she disappeared.

A knock

at the door

brings me back

and it all becomes clear

I can’t

let her walk

through that doorway.

Wow, There's so much meat in these few words. As if its from a best seller book, that you took the best and most intriguing parts out and created an incredible poem! I didn't want it to end and when it did, I wanted more. Fantastically done!
 

Woven says:

On the edge of my seat, wondering with the end of each line, and then what happened? Wonderful narrative, and I did want more..just a sign of great writing. Something did occur to separate the 2 before. Sometimes the possibility of repeating that pain, outweighs the possibility of a successful rekindling. Awesome write!

Corey, I'm sorry I left you hanging! I'm learning to exercise restraint. Once the emotional picture is painted, further details seem "extra." I don't wanna be that guy who keeps talking because he's in love with the sound of his own voice. Ya know? Thanks so much for the feedback!

Woven, great analysis. Once bitten; twice shy, but it is so easy to fall back into the familiar, isn't it? I am flattered and humbled by your comment. #Respect
