TIME STOOD STILL

Time stood still
for 35 hours
The sounds of the city
poured on us like showers.

Time stood still
as we lay side by side
touching, exploring
the places we hide

Time stood still
while we kissed and caressed
Answering questions
to our curious quest

Time stood still
while we discovered each other
fondling and holding
each close to the other

Time stood still
while our bodies entwined
passions unbridled
flesh in flesh joined

Time stood still
for 35 hours
As we united as one
our separate powers

Time stood still
The longing fulfilled
Our love is real
Our doubts are stilled

Time stood still
It continues to haunt me
You ravished my body
Not stopping to taunt me

Time stood still
Though now we have parted
Now I know how you feel
My life has just started
