This Space Between Us

Time and space cannot stop true love!

An ocean,

wide and wild

rages and tosses

with waves

with tall glass walls,

topped with spewing foam.

 

It beats

upon the shore

churning sand

and scourging rock

to smooth, angry

jagged teeth.

 

It roars at us

to stay distant,

buffeting us

remorselessly with

it's powerful

breath.

 

Between us this

angry cauldron

refuses to part,

refuses to open

 and offer us

our path to

the  fulfilment

of carnal knowledge.

 

But neither

this  savage sea,

nor the angry mountains

that rise in our path,

or the ravines

that split the earth

assunder,

can ever dampen

the might,

or test the limits

and strength

of our dear,

and heavenly love.

sometimes just the imagination of it might be better than the real thing....
because we can imagine pretty sexy...but if it happens we may be disappointed...
nothing like sexual tension.

Agreed Jacob but the sensuality of two people with equal ardour is unbeatable. Many thank yous as always Sir.

This reads like a chapter from song of songs...it also reminds me of my poem Holy Fire -- of savage seas and angry mountains and other delicious metaphors....:) https://www.writerscafe.org/writing/KiraFulks/2466571/

Song of songs? I will seek out Holy Fire. I love delicious metaphors! Many thanks Kira.
