On the Precipice

by W.F. Manchester

I walked into the clouds calling your name,
My voice echoing amongst the shades,

My cries touching the very stars…

High on the precipice of eternity,
I saw you beckon me with outstretched hand,
Your lips parted sensuously,
And your breasts heaved impatiently,
As I stood faltering at the portal of our reunion…
The step so vast,
The crevasse so deep,
The result so uncertain,
My indecision hangs about my shoulders,
A mantle of shame for all to witness.
