The Gates of Time I have known moments of delight where my skin burned until I cried when his body and mine, complicit, leapt into a frenzied struggle I have held his gaze feeling his own falter I have bitten his skin in the dark… in his arms I have wept I have stopped time FOREVER and I have given myself entirely, consumed by a love that does not exist on earth I have melted my body into his and I have spoken the magic word, the one that propels you… into fantastic realms In which neither futures, nor tomorrows, nor pasts exist… and where only the PRESENT comes to be. I have thrown away the keys to my soul… and I have lost my memory forever, I have cast my fears into the flames of a volcano without regrets I have surrendered my hopes and my weapons, I have lived as NEVER before I have poured out all the tears I had… with him, I remained the one I was I only had to close my eyes and reach my hands toward him to feel my heart soar into the heavens… like a moth in the night Today, he is still always within me and distance has no effect Forever he remains there, in an unaltered present He remains the light of my soul forever without suffering, without “why?” and without “but” … Forever my love in time… beyond the gates of the past, the future, and the present.
