Anonymous writes:: " ONCE UPON A TIME



Once upon a time and oh so long ago
Feelings from deep within came to life compelling me onward
My every living moment was just to be in love with you
I recall a day when the sky darkened and the wind frolicked with the sea-the roaring white capped waves licked the sand-the wind pounded furiously the jetties and boardwalk-but to me they were gentle because of you
But that was once upon a time
There was many a time I waited in anticipation hold you in my arms
To look upon you-to gaze into those deep dark eyes
To see the smile on your lips and feel the love captivating my soul
Embracing your lips-and feel the love mounting inside me
That was all I ever longed for
But that was once upon a time
You were gentle and yielding-soft-soft like a pleasant dream
Your love was that way all the time-it was heavenly-a heaven on Earth just being with you
But I sinned against you and heaven my beloved-a sin to the Shattering of your heart
It was then as you walked out of my life that darkness took over
I died within-I was without speech or hope
Then you were gone-gone like vapor-gone forever
But that was once upon a time
Now I sit and ponder at times just how close to excellence I had been
Was it all an illusion or simply a dream turned into a nightmare?
Well-it matters not anymore my beloved-not any more
Because it was oh so long ago-and once upon a time.
