Under the Moonlight: Part 3

You turned off the lights as you entered the room,
And I listened to your every move as my eyes adjusted to the darkness.
The white towel wrapped around your waist, fell gently to the floor,
Your approach was slow, but filled with intent.

Your hands touched the inside of my legs as you eased over me onto the bed,
Then further up, my chest tingled from the sensation of your nipples caress.
This was feeling so good, it had been too long since I had felt your touch, like this.
Your hands felt warm and loving, as you massaged me gently.

We made love, but it wasn't like before, it wasn't the same,
And though it started out gentle, it became rough, and deep,
Penetrating our wildest imagination, our fears of loss, of abandonment.
And with each thrust came a gesture of hatred for the others bad deeds

Our senses began to rise, to climax at the point where we knew each other,
Where no matter how much we didn't care for one another, we cared for this,
And it was my weakness for this moment of the flesh, the raw carnal impulses,
That brought me back to civility, to reason, and to love.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a long drive down to the dockyard, a place I didn't often visit.
But as I tried to ignore the awkward silence, it just grew louder and louder.
It was like we were never friends, but we were steadfast in what we wanted,
To be with each other, no matter what.

We journeyed to a place where we could find peace, undisturbed.
It was a reckoning, a solemn realisation that we couldn't be one, without the other.
We roamed the unattended dockyard, searching for a place as far away as possible,
Where only the sounds of distant laughter and tinkling glasses from a bar were heard,

We found a place, where we could hear each others thoughts clearly.
The waters rippled in slowly off of the waterway, and the fool moon shone softly above,
In the clear sky, and the moored boats creaked gently.

We expressed in passionate tones, how much we loved each other,
How much wrong we had done, and how much we never wanted this again.
Our hearts were in the right place, but our minds needed focussing,
because there were doubts, about who, the what ifs, the whys, and when,

How could we rebuild the trust that had been broken so devastatingly,
Why didn't we simply just move on? I knew that I could forget this and move on,
But we meant the world to each other,
We knew the mistakes that we made, and I knew just what we were capable of,

Together, I wanted to find out just how capable we were of pulling through this,
And together, we would remain committed to each other to build our dreams,
And make our world a model of love, where relationships fail for lesser evils,
We would remain united, and strong, through love.
