I Try. *** For Meggie's Challenge.

Last night and late, fell the shadow of you between
his lips and mine
I felt a strong longing betwixt kisses and glasses of
convention's old wine.
When you and I secretly met times were spent in
passionate hiding.
Now desire built again I unwisely feel this decision
begins to stifle.
For it was not into my ear you whispered but into
my heart, besides,
It was not my lips you kissed but my soul and now
nothing rhymes.
We tested our feelings, found them improper and
I thought they died.
I try but cannot resolve or move on from my love
of what's clandestine.

It was supposed to be over by the first sign of
riotous bluebells in Spring.
But unfulfilled feelings are rashly breeding and
worse, - - - - taking wing.

Breathtakingly beautiful, filled with mystery and I love how feelings which were believed to be dead are resurrected with the arrival of Spring, dear Fay. There is nothing any hotter than the fire of two old flames! You pain a thrilling picture of an illicit love affair so finely with both an excellent choice of words and strong visual detail. I so enjoyed reading this wonderful poem, dear Fay. Thank you for kindly sharing it and I wish you the very best of Good Luck in Meggie's Challenge. Superb work! Blessings always, dear Fay...
