To have spent these past decades...
...ten years shy of a century?
with you as my journey companion
would have been sublime
[hands clasped tight during phases
where life dealt us the gift of rollercoaster rides]
We...We could have laughed with happiness
into each others mouths as we kissed...
You could have brought me coffee,
two sugars and my slippers...
[I would have brought you red, red,
red as your lips roses and my undying
passion to make you mine and mine, alone]
Capricious kismet crossed our paths
entangling the chemistry of our souls
Damned destiny and frigid fate
sheared us apart, irrevocably
Leaving us nothing but these few moments
in time, stark with our urgent need spent
watching you, watch me, watch you...
Our breaths trapped in our throats...
All I longed for, was an amiable love shared well
all I craved, all I needed was to be held
in the warm brown gaze of your compassionate eyes,
the chance to touch fingertips, as you handed me
my morning coffee...

V - Kismet (or Karma?) is a crooked, mysterious road. You write about it so well, but the icing on the cake is the last stanza. Exalt!!!

Thank you, ladies, for your reads and comments!
@heart7...kismet or karma...? karma is a "what comes around goes around" kind of thing, with somewhat retributional overtones, such as the biblical quote, "...reap what you sow..." Kismet, is more romantic, than karma...lol...doncha think?
@pegasus...the only "things" we ever truly lose are the ones we never find again...in your case, I would say both kismet and karma were involved...you were meant to meet both times and you deserve one another, to boot...
Take care, sweet ladies of the quill.

V - Both you and Peg have such a command of the written word. I admire that, and appreciate learning about the subtle differences. This website is truly a world of a million words, thoughts, ideas and perceptions. It's a pleasure to read you guys.

Hi!
Kismet - fate, destiny (Turkish word) - means that nothing depends on our will.
Very deep and interesting.
And you are hooligan too!

haha, you got it, love...it's all about love of the unrequited variety...
i was bemused, as poets often can be, by a program I was viewing, Torchwood.
(love it! addicted to it! lol) Capt. Jack Harkness and one of his more bittersweet romantic
entanglements inspired this bit of doggerel. but, what fun I had writing it!
thank you, for the read and the exalt!

fierce frustration
molasses thick longing
trickles through thoughts
taunt with allayed desire
sweet ribbons of lust
restrain common sense
haunt my blood
You are the fruit laden bough
beyond reach, fulsome, enticing
and I? I am Tantalus
frustrated, fierce
with the unrepentant
need to feel your love
bask in its glow
