An Ode To Eternal Love
by Teri Sharp
Once upon a time, in a kingdom by the sea,
Two people met and fell in love - you and me.
I remember our first meeting, clear as a bell,
You were sitting on the stone wall encircling the well,
I recall your welcoming smile, eyes blue as the sky,
Focusing solely on me, though many women passed by.
Wearing a tunic of white, a feathered helmet on your head,
The sun glinting off your hair, so fiery a red!
Broadsword hanging from your belt - were you friend or foe?
Before the moon was full, I was destined to know.
You spoke not a word - merely held out your hand -
We ran off together to Mother Nature's forest wonderland.
Beneath towering pine trees, you took me in your arms;
One kiss and I was gladly lost among your many charms.
Tenderly you removed my gown, and lowered me to the earth;
Upon a bed of pine needles, we gave passion birth.
The very air vibrated with our impassioned thrusts -
Though just met, we felt no shame,
For this unity was predestined by the Gods,
And our world would never be the same.
Time had no meaning in that sacred bower of love -
All that mattered was our joining - me below, you above.
No more would I auger the rustling of a tree,
Or the music the birds would bring;
For the first time that you entered me,
you taught me that my heart could sing.
I was a high priestess, a keeper of the eternal light,
But that seemed of no importance
As we made love throughout the night.
Such sweet delights you showed me,
With tongue, and lips, and finger,
And once your hard shaft pierced me,
Forever did I wish to linger.
With such passion you possessed me -
you claimed my soul that night,
But the search party came upon us,
Bodies entwines, by morning's first light.
For I had sworn an oath to the Goddess,
And you to the Cult of the Bull;
My sentence was to be buried alive,
Though with your child, my belly was full,
For I had sworn to be chaste -
No man could enter my earthly portal.
But the first time I lay with you, my love,
I knew you were no mere mortal.
While I awaited my death, a soldier came,
Bearing bad tidings for me -
A volcanic eruption had claimed your life,
The tidal waves were washing you out to sea.
The sorrow I felt at the loss of your life
Was worse than the fear of losing mine,
For if I had to live without you,
Forever, for your touch, would I pine,
So, gladly did I accept my fate -
The end of what would've been a lifeless life,
Knowing we'd meet again in another time and place,
This time destined to become husband and wife.
