Within this bed our souls revealed,
passionate kisses and gentle fingers
spoke more than words ever could.
The world outside disappeared
when we closed and locked the door,
and then there was only us
with this insatiable desire
burning within our hearts.
Shedding our clothes,
like the way we shed our inhibitions and fears.
Till we stand before each other,
naked and innocent
ready for the passion that will come.
Wanting to create a memory,
to live some hidden fantasy
that has never been spoken of.
Now that the moment is over,
we lay within the tangled sheets
arms entwined around each other.
Bodies sweaty and spent,
as we hold each other so tight.
Her head resting on my chest,
listening to my heartbeat
as it speaks out to her.
My hand moving up and down her back,
as I try to think of the words to say.
But nothing does come,
except those three simple words said so much.
I love you.
But even that seems to be not enough,
to begin to describe all the affection and devotion
which I feel for her.
Within the silence of this room
we have devoted ourselves to each other,
creating a bond so strong
that neither man nor the heavens above
could break us apart.
Light shadows of the room begin to grow darker,
as we lay there in each others arms
speaking of that which is content within our hearts.
Our lips caress in soft kisses
as we are enveloped within the emotions
this moment brings.
Feeling the urge to tell her
how I want to never leave this place,
to never return back to the real world
filled with its injustice and cruelty.
She tells me that would be a wonderful thing,
but we can't hide from the world forever.
And that this love we share
will always be strong and grow
within us each moment of each day.
Within this room we expressed our love,
embracing all the pleasures that our hearts
did yearn to bestow.
While making us see that
our love is strong enough to face the world
and all that we fear within our mind.
I never forgot that moment with her,
or any other moment I spent with her.
Even now as I speak these words,
she looks upon me with that same sparkle in her eyes
as the day I asked her to be my wife.
I know there are many memories we will share.
But within this room...
within this moment....
we have found a paradise all our own.
Away from the prying eyes of society
and their forked tongue comments,
so quick to be dispensed.
No politics, no warm no economic troubles
for us to worry about in that moment.
Only two young lovers
finding a moment to be together,
and express all that their hearts do long to reveal.
For in the end
love between two people
is more important and strong
than anything that can be found.
So let the world sat what it may about us,
and may they choke upon their words,
for they know not the truth.
All that matters to me is the woman I love.
My Lady...My Juliet...my everything
and within that room
I proved what my heart does feel for her.
And shall continue to...for all eternity.
