Only Our Love Remains

A summer day

A faint bouquet of passion floats through my thoughts, resting on my mind, leaving my dreams filled with you. 

The wilderness scented breeze calls out your name but as I turn to see you only the flowers remain.  

Further I walk into the day as the wind whispers upon my skin; again I turn with open arms, but only the wind remains.  

The sun makes me warm just as your desire warms my blood and still I press on, through the woods my feet carry me. 

From the west a shadow consumes my path while jets of sun light pierce the lumbering pines.

My spirit feels a presence but the day has left me empty-handed so I do not turn towards the obstruction;

before I take another step the power of your arms spin me into your embrace and as always only our love remains.

cherrie this is a beautiful and wonderful piece. turning toward love multiple times only to find he is not there and just as your heart hardens and you decide not to turn, there he is. I'm not typically a fan of anything romance or lovey dovey, but this was very good

What a very tender and moving piece. I feel the search as you walk on looking for what it is you seem to have lost. But in the end the pressence of the love remains. Nicely penned, almost brought a tear to my eye. It seems this love is somewhere unatainable.

This is such a beautiful expression of love, and your last line captures the powerful essence of that which lasts.. Wonderful words!
