FAMOUS FIRST OR
LAST WORDS
TOGETHER
by Paula
Life framed, dammed, reinforced; a face shrouded in melancholy; silent contemplation. Longing for a flash of delight and oblivion. Delicate gestures and constant uncertainty. Waiting for barriers to be abandoned, locks to be opened, for sweet, sensual relief…
Two fragments of life, no longer separated; one night, in a small corner of a magical world, in the crumpled sheets of a large bed; tenderly, with the touch of warm fingers, breath by breath, kisses, trembling, whispers on the lips… like waves in a passionate sway, the glow of candles fell on heated bodies.
There is a first time for everything.

Paula thank you and I could imagine Vincent and Catherine yes a first time for everything… However….while I’m thinking Catherine and Vincent this could apply also to any couple truly in love. Still there is only one truly magical world for me and right now one couple that I could truly say it belongs to. Especially “waiting for barriers to be abandoned” line. Yes, yes. yes….please.
Thank you, PearlAnn, for your kind words. This is the couple that matters most to us.
In these few words, I wanted to convey the depth and essence of waiting for this important moment and outline some elements, while leaving the rest to our imagination.
Oh, myyyyyyyyy!!!! How perfectly expressed, Paula! I got goosebumps reading this! Brava!!
JoAnn, that’s exactly the effect I was going for, thank you for saying that!
Paula, your story reads like a beautiful piece of poetry or the lyrics of a wonderfully romantic song. Every word, every phrase is just perfect. Thank you so much for creating it and for sharing your talent and artistry with all of us!
Linda, your words spill into my heart, causing warmth and joyful excitement. I wanted these words to convey the sensuality of that impetuous moment. I am so glad that you like it and see the beauty in it.
This is practically a poem. Beautifully evocative!
Thank you very much! I am happy and surprised that I created a poem while thinking about a drabble.
Oh, Paula! This is lovely! You are a poet who writes stories! I love the word choice, the flow of thought. So perfect!
Oh, Carole! Are those words really meant for me? My excitement is boundless. ..but deep down, I believe that I am far from being a poet. What you wrote gives strength, faith, and is a huge encouragement to create and try. Thank you very much!
