but there is another side of me too, the side of me that sees beauty in many things, from my children, to a cloud in the sky
so as a kind of Bookend to I Loved You

definitely a dark image for the emotions it has stirred not just in myself but in all of you wonderful people who have commented on it, to Helpless the darkest moment of all, when you realise there is nothing to do except ride out the storm of your mind and emotions
the good thing that comes from these darker moments is the reawakening of the truths of how wonderful life can be, the emotions these moments bring to the fore are real, and the desire to share them is too,
#The Bookend #
wrapped in your arms and listening to your breathing
lying on your sweet breasts feeling them move under my head
as you breathe
with my arm across your belly and my hand curled around your hip
I can feel your breath in my hair as you talk
I will wallow in the wonderful moment of being with you
feeling each other just being there
listening to your voice in your chest and in my ears
running my hand gently across your stomach and tracing every sweet contour
moving it lower and just brushing the edges of your hair
sliding my hand gently into the sweet little crease between groin and thigh
and still the aroma of our lovemaking fills the air
feeling the warmth of you on my fingers the tenderness of your touch
kissing you gently where my head rests on your chest
feeling your warm breasts give as my head turns to let me kiss your sweet soft skin
your leg on mine touching all the way along our bodies
oh dear god to feel you on every inch of me
to feel your warmth
your love
oh dear god to feel you on every inch of me
to feel your soft skin on my face
on my lips
on my tongue
your warmth and tenderness and caring and sweetness
I want you now, to be safe where you belong in my arms,
in my bed curled up warm and comfortable
with my hands on you stroking and caressing your tired body
and relaxing you into peace and calm
where you and I can love each other without hurry
knowing that when we are done we can begin again
with our deep seated desire for each other
just a touch here,
a caress there
a breathy kiss here
a whispered I love you against your skin
even though tired, making love in such a gentle way with each other
just to be joined
just to be as one
just to share each other
to surrender wholeheartedly to the joy of being in each others arms
to give it all up
no more walls
no more barriers to hide behind
to b e completely free and open
to let you deep inside of me to where the real “I” is
to let you wrap the real “I” in your love and nurture it
to reach deep inside of you and feel your heart beating in my grasp
to hold your fragile heart in my hands and cradle it
with such tenderness and care like a newborn
to keep it safe from harm and let it grow again
to hold it tenderly and wash it clean with my tears of love and joy
wash away all of the taints placed upon it before me
to mend the broken areas
to feel it beating stronger with every touch of my love
to feel it begin to warm in response to my touch
feeling the warmth radiate from within
and bathe in the glorious waves of love pouring from it
to bask in the glow of you and your love
to let my tears flow because they don’t belong here anymore
washing away all of the previous hurt we’ve had to endure
to lie washed up on the sunkissed shore of loves sweet paradise

msdebbie
Yeah, breathlessness can be lovely in the right setting, I so agree Kriss
As for you – I should have also said it is lovely to think of you still so willing to risk yourself when you’ve gone through the pain and anguish of heartbreak. I am always in awe of the human spirit and its tenacity – the things we will (and should and must) always strive for despite the odds against anything working out well in this world. So abbreviated – that means kudos my friend L&L xoxo
