The Reawakening



The Reawakening 



Like a rapid forest fire
Her burning desire
Spreads, stirring
Longings buried deep
Every pore,
Every cell, every atom
In her wants him,
Like a fever
It ravages her…
Her heart races
With a wanting
So strong
It takes her breath away

“Why, how, why?”
Her mind quizzes…
She had banished them
All those eons ago
When she lost him…
Her heart now
Like a thick dark
Tangle of gnarled
Stubborn roots
Claws into every beat…
Numb and cold
Warmth shying away
From her
Fierce resolution.

But he is here tonight…
He sleeps
A stranger, by her side
Unaware of the
Unleashed passion in her
Spiraling out of control
Consuming her…
A familiar shimmering memory
Like a fragile cobweb
Hangs between them
Random memories
Ricochet…
Illusive like a dream

Who is he?
This stranger
That shares her space?
As her burning luscious
Lips scorch his
The hot desire in him
An equal match to hers
Devours her ripe
Swollen mouth
Awakening her
From a slumbering stupor…
He enters her very core
With an urgency

As their heated bodies
Aflame in their passion
Fuses as one
Something explodes
Shattering all
Illusions…
Lost memories
Like streaks of lightening
Jolt her from her
Darkness of self exile
This is no stranger…
He has held her
Close to his heart
Through the ages

Some lifetimes of
Holding her hand
Sharing a journey
And in some
Loving her from a distance
While she walks alone
He is her eternal lover…

    Space and distance doesn't make us strangers... I loved it when you said you shared a journey...Passions are kindled and are easily reawakened...I truly believe that 'love has a power of its own'...not only unleashing ones' needs and cravings... There is something beyond that...

    loved it soul sis :*

    Just getting better, very powerful and passionate words. I like the way you turned it from not knowing to forever being there in the distance.

    The destination is "to be." I think love is endless, and it's limitless. But it's often hard for us to really experience the abundance of what love is. So it's kind of a moment-to-moment destination — to be in the moment, to be in the present, to be with ourselves, to be with another, to be with Spirit. I think it's an endless journey, a journey that keeps revealing itself.
    Life is a journey and it is love that makes that journey worthwhile..and with your passion..u can ignite even a dead soul...

    "This is no stranger..."

    That feeling of already knowing the other...that you have met before, can be very powerful.

    How beautifully you weave the words together, Rimly. Loved this! ❤

    I'm going to have to think about this. I was sure you had gone out, got blind drunk and found yourself in a night of wild passion ... but maybe not. What i do know, without any doubts, is your passion, sensuality and creativeness knows no bounds, and you are oozing talent.

    to be "removed from self exile". Of all the beautiful phrasing in your words that is what struck me most. I have no bride – and so when I read love poetry – or hear a love song – I turn it toward God. And he does to my spirit what a lover would do for my heart. Your words apply in that way as well. Striking, stunning, breath taking, thank you. God bless and keep you and all of yours Rimly.
