Poetry: Remembering

by Erin Weatherhogg

Created on: August 25, 2009

She is more beautiful than the diamonds that adorn her costume

He watches as she dances and it all comes flooding back

The graceful movements of her lovely body

Her dark, cascading curls and glittering aquamarine eyes

They were lovers once, they met this way when she was very young

Her beauty as she danced enchanted him, just as it does now

"Find me the most beautiful woman that exists" the director said

And immediately she sprang to mind, graceful, sensual, glamorous

She is a superstar now, but he cares not about that, for his star also soars

To him, she is a queen, a sorceress, a goddess, the world

And he remembers

How could he forget?

She was his Angel

And remains so yet

The way it felt to hold her, so warm, so soft, so lovely

The way her breath would quicken as she gazed in to his eyes

Her body held against his, so close they were almost one

Her lips so soft and pleading as she kissed him passionately

A familiar stirring deep inside, one he has not had for another since,

Nor will again for any but her, begins to move him now

He is rendered breathless by how it consumes him

Body, Heart, Mind, Soul, Spirit, Passion, Love, Lust, Desire

She was his muse and forever will be

It is for her his every creation is meant, and because of her they exist

And he remembers

How could he forget?

She was his Angel

And remains so yet

When the camera stops rolling and all souls disperse, they remain

Wide open, raw, vulnerable, longing for each other

He approaches her slowly, awaiting - dreading - the moment when the spell breaks

She gazes up at him as he touches her face, her heart in her crystalline eyes

His kiss is tentative, unsure, pleading, asking permission

She lets him in readily; it's as if they were never apart

As he draws her close, she reaches for his beautiful face

Feels the warmth of his body as he takes possession of her soul

He won't let her go, and she won't turn away

As it all comes flooding back

And she remembers

How could she forget?

She was his completely

And remains so yet
