The sweet moment I met you, your smile
lightened me immediately, I sought the heart you held.
The man of passion and love, I was ignited from the minute
our eyes connected, I needed you.
Our kisses were like lightening, quick heavy hits,
electrifying, presenting a fire within every crevice of my being.
Our heartbeats hitting a category 8, rapidly pulsating,
we became a hellish tornado, whipping around one another.
Bodies entwined we made love, beautiful, intense, romantic.
Without warning, past collides with present,
future becomes bleak, lost in tsunami tides.
Ex husband back, making disastrous waves, he releases his trump,
laid on the table he exposed me, for who I was then, no longer
the woman I am now, heart sank, as he let it all out.
Woman scorned by evil ways, lust forsaken her mind,
adulterous affair revealed, present situation unraveled.
Detail after detail, of his capturing of my betrayal,
He laughs wickedly as he sees my new lover’s smile fade.
Speechless, emotionless, I could only stare,
Two worlds colliding, the waves at a roar, my life overturned.
He turns and walks away, I’m left, sails battered and torn,
I turn to my lover, tears flowing, as I feared the inevitable.
His eyes on mine, smiled hinted with worry, his hand lifts my chin,
“That was the past Tory, I love you with all that I am,”
Then he kissed me, the storm settles, as he tosses out the anchor,
And we lay upon the ship, and make waves of our own.
Author notes
The actual theme of the contest is what you feel when the ocean tides of love and heartache break over your dambs, and you can't bear to hold it back any longer, and you must do something about it.
**note some people make errors, i was separated from my husband one year before i stepped out on him, he already had five, but i still felt guilty for it wasnt right, i was still married. But now i have a man who loves me for me, and the past is the past."
Love you sweetheart

very good, exactly what I was looking for, the imagery and sensuality of it all was extraordinary, and i must say, this is one superb contest, and Im sorry to hear bout your previous misfortune, but as you said it yourself, the past is the past, and there is nothing that you can do about it except for moving onwards.
