Meet Again In Our Special Place Poem by Louise Tredoux

Desperately
trying to create
my own sanctuary,
refine my own cathedral,
create a sacred silence inside,
to flee into myself and hide from
life - when I discovered your note to
meet you at our special place; overjoyed,
my heart beating faster, my pulses racing, my
feet were not fleet enough to carry me there
yet I was in time, you were waiting as I
arrived, buried in your coat against
the cold, but your lips were sweet
and your fingers deft and your
hands pulled me close and I
found joy in your embrace,
the joy of our love that
grows ever stronger
that nothing can
destroy
a love that
keeps growing
stronger whenever
it meets opposition, when
my father forbade me to see
you again, when I cried, when I
died in my pain, you sent me a note,
you planned my escape, you initiated
a gate into paradise and I fled to that special
secluded place that we have made our own
where we can meet to be alone, sharing
our thoughts and emotions, creating
calm in the eye of the storm, as
soon as father permits and
you have proved your
innocence
we shall be
together again,
together forever, till
then, my love, I shall always
follow the notes that you send
to meet you again in our special place!
