At Last True Love Requited
At Last True Love Requited belongs to the following groups:
Love & Romance and The Word TreeInundated with the rhythm,
The melody of your heart
Keeping time as my own beats,
My ear flat against your chest-
Feel you surround my being-
All that is you, now is mine;
All that is me, now is yours.
I catch my breath a moment
Hoping this will never fade,
Nestling into love, deeper;
Closer with each beat and breath.
I’ve never heard such music
Within the silence and I
Am afraid I’ll sing, out loud-
Shattering our sweet moment-
Because joy has bubbled up,
Uninhibited at last.
The harmony between us
Has freed me of all the fear
Our melody has entered
Soft, low, restoring my soul
Oh, the world is new again!
Everything has a reason!
How beautiful life becomes,
Here and now, within your arms.
It’s the first I’ve known of peace-
At last, true love, requited.

A remarkable piece of writing, I love the way you’ve used music as a metaphor for sex.

Constance replied
Ah, not sex-love. There is a difference
Max Gatrell
A huge difference indeed, one is fleeting the other perpetual. It just seemed as if you were describing the act of Love, as opposed to Love the feeling ;)

Sweet Girl.. I do remember that feeling.. you are such a spirit of open reflection and love!

This floats. . .just above the surface of love. A hope or a wish. . . maybe a ripple just beneathe the surface of our reality. Closer to a dream than we think.. . . i feel like you dwell there in your creative expression.It is a lovely place. . .thank you.
