"Rendezvous" is one of the first poems ever published on poetheart.com by Dona Lou Pearson. Since her interview in January, 2000 she has revised her poem. Rather than delete the original poem and post her "revised" version, Dona and I decided to leave the original (shorter) version and add this revised (longer) one. - poetheart 08/10/01
A little room that overlooks
A peaceful scene, a lovely lake
Became the Center of the Universe
For me, a piece of Paradise
When first I kissed your lips
And gazed into your eyes
When our lips met and mingled
Words of love, breathlessly spoken
While our bodies conversed
In passion's language of tactile sense
And time, the world outside the door
Were lost to me, as I drank in your taste
Your smell, the feel of skin against my own
As your body became as my own flesh
Melded to me in the ecstasy of love
With whispered words, like daggers
Cut into my soul, found me out
Made me a helpless captive, as
I boldly ventured in too deep
And drowned beneath the waves of bliss
That had beckoned to me from afar...
And I have yet to ascertain
If this is love, or just love's curse
That dooms me now forever
To return there in my dreams
