Last night
we were young again
you and I
forgotten by the winds of age
tempted by the flames
of younger days
remembered.
The stars were closer
than they'd been in years.
I could see them in your eyes
and the moon herself
inside my breast
was blushing.
Your arms embraced
the girl I'd left behind.
You brought her back
~ all of her ~ all of me.
Your warm lips roused my heart
and found me once again.
Yes you, my love,
always the one who held the key.
We were young last night
while all the world was sleeping.
Just you and I
in each other's arms
wrapped
in love's enchanted smile.

this is so beautiful... and something that i wish for ever night when i close my eyes......

Hello Enn,
ReplyDeleteYou know, my husband and I have been together for so many years and time goes by so quickly. We need to remember the love that brought us first together . . . and that goes for all of us . . . long time lovers.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
"and the moon herself/inside my breast/was blushing"
ReplyDeleteOoh, very nice.
Many thanks, Ed!
ReplyDeleteThe whole poem is brilliant, but I specially like these lines:
ReplyDelete"Last night
we were young again
you and I
forgotten by the winds of age
tempted by the flames
of younger days
remembered."
Just great.
And congratulations for your wedded bliss. :-)
