Us...


Us....


As you gathered me in your gentle arms
The chaos that raged in me ceased….
Like the ebb of the tide
The tumultuous angry waves of my thoughts calmed.
Just you and that embrace
And my doubts and fears were laid to rest.
I was home again.

As you parted my hungry lips
My slumbering soul came alive…
You breathed life into me again
With those sensuous tender lips
And as I took in the nectar of our love
I was born again.

As you unfurled the petals of my being
I surrendered to our dance of ecstasy…
With our limbs intertwined
I danced in tune with your rhythmic body
And my heart soared with passion.
I was one with you again.

As we lay in each other’s arms
Spent and sated…
I etched the very essence of you in my heart
To walk me through the lost and lonely days
That would hound my emptiness.
Us, a memory once again.

  5. Rimly,

    My heart is filled with sorrow reading this new piece. I guess it only mirrors how I am feeling at the moment.

  6. Rimly...beautiful, sensuous, lost in the memories..and releasing all at the same time. This one from the depths of your wounded soul...yet coming from a memory...not necesarily from where you are now. You are able to dip into those memories with a new perspective and leave it where it needs to be. Just that..a memory of "Us"...and when you are ready...you will manifest a "New Us"...but from a place of equality. Keep on inspiring...Always

  13. I am laughing with you, Rimly, at Larry's comment...loved it!

    I had a slightly different mindset again...for me, your words make me think of my relationship with my Inner Being (my true Soul Mate), but I know that I am now, never alone.

    Really beautiful...you have a gift ❤

  14. Beautiful, sensual and leaving me wanting more of my The One...

    "I was home again." "I was one with you again." It makes me believe that 'again' is more than possible.

    "To walk me through the lost and lonely days That would hound my emptiness." "Us, a memory once again." ...leaving me believing that the memory will carry me through the lonely days.

  15. Just like Larry says, after reading that I'll go look hopefully at my wife. Won't be any ravaging though.. I have better chances with wine and chocolates!
    Thanks Rimly. I may just try reading this to her.

  16. I could feel every word seeping through me... but I won't internalize much soul sis, it'll make my body yearn for somebody and he's not here :P

    Oh, why won't it last soul sis?

  17. Pain adds to our sense of the profoundness of life. It makes us deeper, it makes us feel as though we’re deeper, it makes us feel more deeply, and feel more deeply for others who are in pain.
    I love this one,has been one of my favorites. So true, yet it’s sensitive..This post feels really deep…..I never quite thought about being loved for nothing…but then again I am coming from a place where I have always felt the need to give in order to receive….
    I feel overwhelmed just thinking about it…I feel exposed allowing it to happen…I cried reading this.
    I feel that I have tried to run away from pain all my life…I felt as though it was a bad disease I wasn’t supposed to contract…and yet have been in pain for years..clinging on to memories..I feel that its part of me and I need to learn to live with it and find some sense of joy in that………I feel exposed admitting my pain and humiliations...WHY "US" Rimly?????

  19. Amy - first of all thank you for visiting and commenting. When I wrote this poem I was thinking of someone special and also imagining how life would be in his absence. It will be then that these memories of beautiful moments spent that will keep me going.
