Poetry: Lover's embrace

by Stephen South

Created on: November 08, 2008

Love Not Forgotten




We didn't meet by fate; we met just like anyone else would

I saw you and I took a chance

It was nothing out of the ordinary




But it was true and it was real




My mouth would water when our lips met; I can still taste them

When our bodies touched my heart warmed as if it was a fireplace

When we were one I felt anew




Without the sun the earth would fade




Your comfort was the sun and I was the weary traveler

Your warmth eased my pain

Your presence eased my sorrow




If only I could step into the past




My mistakes would be few

My actions would be forever welcoming

You would see me as another person, a better person




You would embrace me and tell me you love me
