Wisteria and Ever Afters

💜

Whenever I see wisteria, I think of you

You and that moon on the water,

The candle, the wine

And the gleam in your shining eyes.

How my heart raced like a Serengeti gazelle

Being chased by a lion

My mind kept telling me to run away

While my heart demanded that I run toward.

And so I did........that starry night

Falling into your arms, your eyes

My mouth devouring your mouth

With a new appetite that would never be sated.

You made that shy girl into a woman

That woman into a princess

And the princess into a queen

A queen that knew she was loved by a king.

I remember how our bodies fit together

Like puzzle pieces,

How the moonlight highlighted the sweat

Running down them like liquid silver.

My hair draped over your face,

 I bent to kiss you

With a kiss I had only just learned to kiss

As your fingers wound 'round my curls. 

I was suddenly afraid of the urgent sounds

That issued from my own throat,

The breath that went out of me

And came rushing back like a violent storm.

I remember you said you loved me

And I felt it with every fiber of my being

Even though love had ever been foreign to me,

It coursed through my body and blood like a fire.

Afterwards, you wove strands of wisteria

And placed the purple crown upon my head

You made me feel serene and regal as you bowed
And then again, like a wild thing in your arms.

And I loved you back. god, I loved you!
The touch, the taste, the sight, the scent,
The breadth, the length
And every inch.

In two day's time, you were called away
--Not that you wanted to leave--
But the way of war overrules the love of life
And does not care how an unscripted fairytale ends.

Every time I see wisteria, I think of you

Your lips on mine, the sweet red wine

The moonlight and the water

I was your queen and you were my king...........
And that night was our happy but brief ever after.
