The Solitude of Time
Lighted by fear and loneliness
Explored in times of sadness
Relived, regretted and enjoyed
Filed away until needed again
The solitude of time cuts deep
Scared memories hidden away
Side by side with happiness
In dark corners, never forgotten
Moving on but never forward
Abandoning hope, only living
Existence of toil and heartache
Until dark thoughts abandoned
Fear ensues as light exposes
Searching with hopeful eyes
Accepting with an open heart
Infinite understanding in a glance
In the maelstrom eyes meet
Blue looking deep into green
Words exchanged, fears eased
Moving forward and exploring
Kindred hearts and desires
Finding a common language
Understood and unspoken
Relaxed and content as one
Soft lips touch with excitement
Fingers run through silky hair
Words muffled by passion
Search ended, journey begins
Cool of night excites the skin
Heightened by warm hands
Firm caresses ever roaming
Quickening breath and heart
Desires seep forth, tasting freedom
A single touch, endless possibilities
Unleashed, exposed and sensitive
Longing for the intensity of contact
Forgotten pleasures re-awakening
Tears of joy and ecstasy flow freely
Thoughts long held in check, echo
Clutching them closely, holding tight
