Pressed For Time : Make Their Jaws Drop
She was my virtual secret lover
who staked a claim on me; it was her choice.
Enshrouded in intense obscurity
I never saw her face or heard her voice.
She spoke to me in silent words of yearning
inscribed in coloured ink on fragrant notes
attached to each a petal that gave meaning
to the emotions that adorned her quotes.
A longer letter came one autumn evening;
It left me trembling and with misty eyes.
With ailing strength she begged for love, forgiveness.
Her final words still echo her goodbye.
Attached there were two orange blossom petals
a sign of never ending bond of love,
now a treasured memory pressed for time eternal
of my virtual secret lover watching from above.
