JUST ONCE


Just Once
To know 
the whisper soft brush
of his thumb against the flush of her cheek
in a prelude to passion...

Just Once
To feel 
his tender caress lavished 
upon her needy flesh...

Just Once
To taste 
his desire on her lips
ending the ceaseless famine...

Just Once
To hear 
promises 
spoken in the darkness
that made her heart rejoice...

Just Once
To be complete;
his body and hers
joined in a lovers' embrace...

Just Once
She'd known 
such absolute joy
the remembrance still brought tears
to eyes that dared hope 
she would find her happiness again...

Life is too short to drink bad wine.
