Close To Heaven

As she stands before the mirror,
she views herself as plain.
The truth of it is, Amber
could easily grace the pages of Vogue.

Amidst the cool winds
of an early spring evening,
Amber reflects on a passionate memory,
wishing she was close to heaven once more.

Regina had long been
a close friend and confidant,
always there to catch a tear if it fell.
Amber all the while admired her eternal radiance.

Champagne flowing
to celebrate new beginnings.
Regina had just been promoted
and Amber's divorce now final.

Enduring friendship,
became sealed with one simple kiss,
little did either realize,
that this, would unlock a never opened door.

As moonlight seeped through the window,
Regina and Amber embraced,
knowing hands glided gently
over each others skin.

Amber's eyes began to glow
with lucid wonder,
as if entranced
by some kind of enigma.

Regina's body shimmered
in the pale misted light,
as she stood before Amber,
now equally devoid of clothes.

Amber's fingers delicately trace,
every inch and notch of Regina's spine,
sending nerves into a frenzy
of arrhythmic shudders.

Tongues begin waging war,
over their rights
to deep exploration,
behind lips ever moistening.

Juices suddenly stream,
from depths they couldn't fathom,
no wonder some call it
the land of milk and honey.

As tremors begin to quell,
ecstatic breaths slowly abating,
Amber and Regina hold their gaze
steadfast upon each others eyes.

Love had suddenly blossomed
between two life long friends,
both now knowing they'll never be,
as close to heaven as in this moment
naked, in each others arms.

Author notes

Phew!, finally finished, apologies about the length (you won't hear that often from a man). I think however that it was definitely worth the read. Dedicated to all the same sex couples out there.

    I love the tenth stanza the best but also I loved the last one. It was a nice way to end it. A love never thought to be. I like it, beautifully written.

    wow, bro, going where no man has gone before? love comes in many forms, but in the end love is still love anyway you slice it. could benefit from a little more attention to punctuation, but lovely.

    This is one fantastic poem about awakening love. You have done a wonderful job, exceptionally sensual, the imagery outstanding and as it was written by a man quite breathtaking. Good luck in the contest, although if I was judging you wouldn't need it...Sue

      Lovely words

      Thank you so much for your wonderful comment, I am pleased you enjoyed the read. I feel that if love is shared openly and honestly between two people, what does it matter about their gender.
      I am a straight guy, but wanted to express that gays, lesbians whatever label people care to use love just the same way we do, our perception of whom they love is the only thing that separates us.
