WRITERS ABROAD MAGAZINE: THE THIRD SPACE Farewell for now By Lesley Truchet Your spirit draws me to this place, Memories bare my sole to ache. Here you took me in virgin embrace, My love heat you teased awake. Your lips bestowed such exquisite bliss, My core unfurled to your lovemaking skill. Senses aroused by your smouldering kiss, Sweet ecstasy, you took control of my will. Our spirits entwined with the passage of years, Merged in passionate splendour. Now rapidly falling, my grieving tears, Salving the pain so tender. Our love endured strong, we each strayed never, Your sudden demise forced us to part. We’ll reunite up above, our bond locked forever, Farewell for now, keeper of my heart. 41 | May 2016
