'Affairy'Tale

'Affairy'Tale

We sailed blindly into our passion and downfall, 
no warning or preparation for the cataclysmic change overtaking us.
Love raw and yet never more perfect.
Guilt only for others, none for us..we need our love, deserve our love, yearn and live for our love
I sit at my window watching the dawn break.
A lucid sky promising a beginning, unknown, , familiar yet secret.
The tree, our tree, starkly outlined against the horizon, now bare branches no longer a canapy of leaves 
sheltering our entwined bodies, but still with the mossy ground carpet so soft and yielding.
Your absence is a void in my soul nothing can repair...
I miss you...so so much
Does she feel her heart stutter when you come close? 
does she touch your hair just to connect with you, ? 
can she know the words of love you hide within your eyes? 
Can she see the treachery of unrequieted love? 
The mute acceptance of a life devoid of passion, the longing to be with you, just you? 
Folly is for others, ours will be a permanence, a forever love. 
To speak of it aloud cuts me, confuses me, makes me afraid.
Too afraid to hope that I am not alone to feel these things...
I write these word hoping to speak to your heart, 
to fix it in your promise that today is the day..
The promised day, 
that you confess your love for me..to her.
Be gentle, be solicitious, be loving, but mostly 
be mine

Hi Cherie, life and love are never straightforward and love looks different depending on your position within the relationship..Love brings such joy yet also such sorrow....Thank you for reading and commenting- so pleased you enjoyed it .xxx

...spoken like a pebble in a Blake poem!

Every line, every image, every needful demand for love, attention and respect exposes the fact that the whole scenario of this piece exists on a knife edge...and eventually someone is going to get very badly hurt!!
Perfectly judged and almost unbearably fraught...I love the clever title too.

Excellent...
