Then ~n~Now

I met you there  
in verse and rhyme..  
Your soul..Your body  
and your mind...  
 
I read you so many  
times before..  
Never enough...left  
wanting more.  
 
So many nights we  
spent distant and apart...  
Yours words always  
tugging at my heart.  
 
Your tantalizing words  
how they evoke..  
The need to touch and  
the need to stroke..  
 
Your words of love  
and steamy sex...  
You are laying naked  
within your text.  
 
Within your lines  
I hear my name..  
Spoken softly over  
and over again..  
 
You pull me close  
and draw me near...  
Your voice..within  
words heard so clear.  
 
        --  Now --  
 
After meeting you so  
much has changed..  
My hopes..my dreams  
have been rearranged..  
 
To see you and feel you  
in the flesh...  
To touch and hold you..  
Souls to mesh.  
 
Your words of heated  
passion on your page..  
Were but tiny snapshots  
of the passions that rage.  
 
You in the flesh are so  
much more.  
Than daddy's little dirty  
 girl or his slutty whore.  
 
Within you such sweet  
tenderness resides...  
A calming soul that is  
clearly seen in your eyes.  
 
You are no longer stuck  
in that hard place...  
I have seen happiness  
and joy upon your face..  
 
I will never ever allow  
sorrow to take it away.  
With love and trust it  
will thrive each day..  
 
Our love now sealed
in a double knot...  
The past behind us....  
Yet never forgot....  
 
I love you...
