That Infinite Space Between Lovers
People sometimes have conflicting needs…....
That Infinite Space Between Lovers
That Infinite Space Between Lovers belongs to the following groups:
ABSTRACT DIGITAL ART AND WRITING, All Out Emotion, Feminine Intent (LIMIT TWO IMAGES PER DAY), Freedom In Words & Art, THE SISTERHOOD and Up & Coming WritersYou tell me you want to give me pleasure, to stroke
and caress me and bring fire to my eyes.
You promise me nothing will change.
I tell you that I ache for you,
that my breath is yours
and that my skin shivers when you are near.
You meet me in that room we’ll never see again.
You tell me that you want me and that you need me.
You touch my hair and whisper into my hand.
I watch your eyes and will you to love me
as I slip from the dress I chose just for you.
You watch my body and think of your own.
When we meet in that infinite space between lovers
I give you love and you give me passion.
We touch. We breathe.
We move closer until we are waves of heat.
You tell me what you need and I assent.
I brush your mouth with my fingertips
and search for the kiss that hides there.
You pull away.
“No kissing, ” you say.
I hear you through clamorous heartbeats.
I pull away.
We should end at that boundary. That infinite space between lovers should never be breached again.
But…
I am weak.
And you hold fire in your hands.
We never kiss.

This resonates so very deeply within me right now, Robin. so poignant, and painful. ?sometimes, our needs outweigh our common sense and we follow that need . . . with a very heavy heart. Beautifully written, senstive and articulate.

(((janniev))) I hope you’re doing OK…it is VERY painful, especially when we know that we’re making bad choices and can’t seem to stop ourselves.
Yes, I know about it first-hand, but it was decades ago….I don’t know if he’s even alive anymore.
MANY thanks….
(btw—I just added a piece of art to go with it.)

P.S.: I hope this is fiction. If not, I feel for you, and my best wishes.

At times, it seems more than I can bear, but, scars will drag everything back together again in time. I’ll survive, I’m a stubborn old chook. Can’t seem to stop outselves is the operative phrase – we can’t choose where our hearts will go.
robpixaday replied
Yes….oh, gosh, yes…you’ll be you again, and stronger than before….and you’re so right about hearts having minds of their own!!!

Even though it’s very painful, it has enriched my life beyond imagining. I don’t regret it – it’s a little different to your experience.
robpixaday replied
enriched my life Oh, I’m sooo glad!!
I don’t really regret any of it. I was very young and he was much older, and it was fun and exciting and I learned a lot about life…but at the time and shortly after, all I could feel was the pain. Time has tempered that.
Time is a wonderful thing sometimes!

Wonderful, deep, emotive, passionate writing Robin … excellent prose.
Have been in that position for past 30yrs … although don’t get sucked in by my ex anymore … gave up … released myself into the freedom of leaving past emotions where it belongs … in the past :))
robpixaday replied
Oh….............(((((((CJ)))))))............that’s so difficult….........I’m happy you’ve found that freedom. It really is wonderful.
Thank you….................................... :)

Time allows us to appreciate the lesson which may have been too painful to abosrb at the time, and time also grows scars which mute the pain . . . to a greater or lesser degree. Yes, I know what you mean about fun and exciting, that’s been the saving grace for me! LOL, we live on.

This is so evocative and resonates deeply, both personally, and as a well written piece. I also thought the artwork was very appropriate, looked like a hinge and the under side of skin being stretched in opposite directions. Thank you for posting!
