He whispers his words<br \/>\nof love and caresses my heart with the tenderness of love untouched.<br \/>\nI feel the presence, yet he has no form. Words on a screen flash<br \/>\nbefore my eyes. Phrases of passion and love scroll by me as I try and<br \/>\ntouch my man who captures my soul. Plans of love in the flesh are<br \/>\nforged.<\/p>\n<p>Strange the fear of the flesh when two hearts beat so much a like.<br \/>\nShared secrets and shared dreams hide in the corners as eyes meet for<br \/>\nthe first time. Fear of all that is real, all that might be, hopes<br \/>\nand dreams of the voiceless love denied. My man of light no longer.<br \/>\nJust a stranger\/friend. So much , so close but so far apart as in the<br \/>\nsilence we sit and hold the hand of each other feeling the flesh and<br \/>\nwondering.<\/p>\n<p>Voices rise and fall. Words become familiar, as the flesh and soul<br \/>\nbind as one. Friends, yes friends, nothing else. Too much too fast as it<br \/>\nwas or was it? In the stillness of one lonely night, the dreams of the<br \/>\nman of light come again. The friend of flesh so close so near, his<br \/>\nbreathing echo&#8217;s within my ears.<\/p>\n<p>The passion of the flesh exploded. The love unclaimed no longer can be<br \/>\nleft alone. Caution thrown to the wind to capture but a moment of the<br \/>\nlove once loudly proclaimed. No longer words on a screen and voiceless<br \/>\nwords take sound, of sweet music in my mind. Tender touches, gentle<br \/>\nstrokes, the flesh is united as it was first intended. For the moment<br \/>\nall that was said all that was spoken all dreams that were dreamt become<br \/>\nreal. The man of life holds me close as my love exchanges with him and<br \/>\nhis.<\/p>\n<p>I open my eyes and he is gone. Back to the land of his family. Back to<br \/>\nthe beginning to the flashing words, back into my dreams. My man of light<br \/>\nguides my heart through the darkest nights.<\/p>\n<p>For a twinkle of an eye all seemed so near, all seemed so possible but as<br \/>\nit goes all there is, is the moment and the moment will always pass. To<br \/>\nhold the special moment in my mind forever. To hold his special love for a<br \/>\nlife time. My man of life may never be but my man of light, my<br \/>\nstranger\/friend, I will always hold dear and near to me.<\/p>\n<p>I will love you always and hold you in my dreams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Man Of Life By Domma Leigh I close my eyes and dream of my man of light.
