HER Lovely COMES unleash

Dusk Background

Melody felt a cold shiver as she looked at the house she once loved.


There was always a mystery to the house; she knew others knew it too.

The man that died in the house that faithful day of June took years off her life. That was a bad day. She could not forget the look on his face, the look of death.

She knew she had to get away.

Her beauty was slipping so fast. She fought it as long as she could. If only she could find the fountain of youth. And find her Love.

Selling her home and taking off to the beach where she had so many memories, she was actually starting to feel young again.

But on that warm day in July walking in the sand, daydreaming, letting the waves roll over her feet and ankles. She looked up she saw the man in her dreams;

He stood before her

Imperfection visible

In long drawn out prose

With sentences and paragraphs

That seemed longer than earth

She smiles and kissed life

And remembered pain

The sun drops cuts from its sting

Yet they drift

A thousand miles away;

Her words dissolve like a broken record

Distracted with failing light

Each drop of them

Is collected

Natures gift to those who come

To put out the shimmering fires of the

Live of thine.

A rhythmic melody of light and sound

As the touch of them

Bestows her;

The kiss was bitter at first

The shyness over took them

Then it was nourished

And then was strong

As Dusk hit that day, and they lay side by side. How wonderful to be held pretending to be lovers. Tangled in a prolonged embrace and enjoying soft kisses. The touch of the look to each side made the fantasy that much more.

A hopeless romantic was she, but she knew this was doomed from the start.

You see she was doomed with complications to die a thousand deaths and every time she looked away, he fell more and more in the grave.

You simply pick the best songs. This is a beautiful story! Sometimes when a story flows so effortlessly, I tend to think it's that persons who wrote the story, it's their true life story I am reading. Like their life experiences.

Good work Deborah.

You see she was doomed with complications to die a thousand deaths and every time she looked away, he fell more and more in the grave.

This was a perfect finish.

The sun drops cuts from its sting

Yet they drift

A thousand miles away;

Her words dissolve like a broken record

Distracted with failing light

Each drop of them

Is collected

Natures gift to those who come.

I could read these words a thousand times..

What can I say, you understand true lovers heart..

And with the most amazing words you explain their thoughts.

Great Hub.. All the way from top to finish line.
