metanoia's Diaryland Diary

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She stood alone

She stood alone at waters edge
And stared out to the sea
Remembered times when they had shared
The hammock on a tree

She closed her eyes and heard the things
That they had said and not;
They never had to speak at all
Communed with just a thought

They took a swim, the water warm
But Ily and Ara swam deep
Cool secrets held and secrets shared
And secrets sworn to keep

Their hearts ran wild, as hearts will do
When given rein and field
Love, unspoken master,
Compelled them both to yield

The stars were bright, the moon was close
And washed their moonlit way
Laughing in the shallows
On Karamja�s quiet bay

They lived their lives in lovers reach
Consumed with fiery blend;
Long-promised to another, each
Soon knew it had to end

They tried to end it, many tries
Grim pain, they could withstand
Till, bleating on with wanton cries
They sought the others hand

Clasping and clutching, huddled and gray
They whispered together at night
And of course all hours in light of day
Holding on with all of their might

It felt right, it did, but again it did not
As goodbye screeched through each hello
They acted as though they didn�t hear it
But, then, each knew it was time to go

The end time came quickly, agreed on the spot
As everything had been, and yet
They would do it again, every bit of the lot
And never have any regret.
