REUNION


The Rogue Speaks:

I knew he was waiting for me. I could feel his essence prickling my neck. It was silent in the grove, save for the call of a crow to its mate, and I could smell the pungent, familiar aroma of dry pine straw beneath the trees.

The floorboards creaked as I approached the door. Silently, he appeared and held out his hand. I touched his fingers, and a current ran through me, to that deep, secret place. I gasped. I could taste the sweat on his lip.

In the decrepitude of that dwelling, everything was once again fresh and new.

Oh boy, this could be a real page turner LOL. Reminds me of a romance novel, ha. Good job.

Secret rendezvous? Lost loves rekindles? The after life reunion? Sad yet delisciously sensual Judie. I could go in different directions with this one.~Ames

Wow, what a post! I can picture this as part of one of those romance novels with Fabio (or whoever his replacement is, since he's getting on in years) on the cover. Great job!

Judie: I forgot what you told me about when your book will be ready. Please refresh my recollection.

Sounds like a wonderful new chapter in their lives.

Kathy Felsted Usher said...

So is this a real beau- human that is? Or perhaps not?

Magyar said...

Too, in my own complimentary (complementary) fashion, I'll add this sort of 'haibun':

footsteps
creek up the old stairway
the same face

Judie said...

Thank you, Doug! It's perfect!!

Magyar said...

__You are very welcome Judie!
'Creek' is the stream of footsteps as they 'creak' on the stairway... a word trick that should never be used in haiku/senryu, as some masters say.

Dazee Dreamer said...

Karen S. said...

Oh Judie. What a beautiful romantic tale. I loved this.

It's funny...because now when I read this I hear you saying it in my head...

And it's cool.

But a little hard to concentrate.

Lovely.
