If it be your will (Re-write)

Just words.

If it be your will

 

My dear Winter love. I held you so tightly in the long cold Winter days and nights.
We confessed love and need  in the safety of locked doors.
You were my Juliet, my savior and I was your Romeo. I was going to save and protect you. You were going to make me feel needed and loved.

 

You were my beautiful muse. Your bare skin against my skin, your lips upon my lips. Kisses so warm and sweet. Made the long nights become warm and safe. I knew we held the utopia of two dreamers who held love over life.

 

You told me often. “If it be your will. I will run nude and reckless for you into your wanting arms. I’m your love and you are my love. I want us to become water and fire. Combining together. Create wild storm than a place of calmness.”

 

I remember painting your tender skin with gentle touch and kiss. Roaming perfect secret valleys and hidden corners where lovers fear not the night. Just the day. I told you.

 

I want you near, my lover. I need your lips upon my lips and I need your hands upon my heart caressing me with sweet words and atonement of perfect embrace and no broken promises. After the day is done. You are my only wish and my only need.

 

You bring me closer and whispered. “If it be your will. I’m here for you and I won’t leave you sweet Johnnie. Love is enough for us and we must embrace the nights with open heart and fearless song.

How wonderful of you to remember your Juliet. It's hard to give up a past love, but you have detailed that scenario beautifully. I thoroughly enjoyed your poem.

Thank you Tamara. We cannot forget our Juliet.

There are many Juliets in this world, coyote, but luckily there are also the Romeos who never forget them. :-)

Sounds like a beautiful if sad requiem John. A lovely set of words in honour of things and relationships past.

Thank you Ken. I do appreciate the comment.

This is so beautiful. Sometime, long ago I had written something similar to this. Not so too much, just a little, but it was enough to take me back to my old poetry and made me smile. Thank you for sharing this :)
