Almost

Missing the closeness
A breath on bare neck
Fingertips stroking gently
and whispered words
spoken with romance
Dancing in a head
giddy with anticipation
Blinded by the strategy
Ignoring the signs
 
It seems so long ago
that we nearly had it all
Expectations never met
Promises broken
Love poetry
a means to an end
Seduction was your game
My surrender the prize
Heartbreak the memory

   Love poetry
   a means to an end
   Seduction was your game
   My surrender the prize

      1. Well, Christine – I’m being honest and kind, not saying anything that isn’t true or very well deserved – You ARE a Great Writer, My Dear!! You need to start accepting that in your heart and head. Maybe put it on a post it note for the bathroom mirror – “Christine Bolton IS a Great Writer!!!!!” I find post-it notes help! They do for me.

         I’m happy that my comments are meaningful to you because they are meant to let you know the truth about your words and that they reach out and touch my heart!!! They brighten my day and so you deserve to know that from my comments! And I’m very happy if they bring a smile to your face too!
