Standing Strong

To stroll along the beach once more hand in hand,

As you whisper to me our dreams of tomorrow,

My heart beats in time with yours, in happiness,

As we remove all of yesterday’s sorrow.

***

A pause at the waters edge as we dip our toes,

Gentle waves kissing our ankles and licking our feet,

Your hand strokes my cheek in soft tenderness,

As I gaze into your eyes as our lips gently meet.

***

A world of love swirls within their depths,

As I drown within your adoration,

Promises of peace and joy lay between us, unspoken,

Powerful wishes of pleasant sensation.

***

Our love is placed upon a pedestal,

Worshipped over the years and tenderly sculpted,

Into a barrier against the hostile outer world,

Shutting out our enemies, leaving them insulted.

***

Our thoughts merge into one of understanding,

Once we learn the thickness of our skin,

Standing strong, forever tethered and united,

Together we cross our battlegrounds in an enduring win.

***

The length of your smile once we form our connection,

Imprinted upon our memories, a reflection of joy,

The timbre of your voice one that calls me home,

While the lust in my veins scream the call of a girl to her boy.

***

Fingertips caressing bare naked skin,

Sensations of pleasant memories we’ll take to our grave,

The gift of a hug from solid loving arms,

Is one that we both need and one we both crave.

***

The solitude of a blissful night of loving in our bed,

Sheltered from the world of forbidden pain,

Soft music playing in the background as we ride the waves,

Of ecstasy and release allowing our love to sustain.

***

Our connection is our armour,

Warding us from the cruel and agonising crowd,

That would tear us asunder,

If we ever allowed.

***

But our commitment is strong,

Standing against the test of time,

A commitment acknowledging I am yours alone,

And an acknowledgment that you’re also mine.
