A Story….. Once

 

“Once upon a time”:…

     or so the stories go;

hell, even the Raven’s Poe

used these words:

     “once upon a midnight dreary.”

But who is this

knocking at my door?

She was the

     once

in my life

and I welcomed her in

once upon a time.

~~~

Upon a time

     once

this time curved around her face

touching sweet dimples,

lips upon my fingertips

and felt time

fold in upon itself

     endlessly

          once.

~~~

Time

     Upon a once

raging fire

knocking at my door

promising more….

      Now

time upon a once

           nevermore.

    1. We played this game in messages to each other very recently, did we not? Oh, on a much smaller scale, of course, and with much less beautiful words than those you have used here, my friend. i.e., “Ah, the sweet smell of success! Or is it the success of sweet smells? etc.” Yes? I like this version much better. You added beauty to it, and made it much more intimate and meaningful. What we did before was meaningless fluff, now a silk purse from a poet’s ear.
