Six Sentence Stories – Division
It was difficult to remember the last time their souls collided.
It used to be that he spent every possible moment connected to her in even the slightest way.
Together they were a blessed confusion of minds, bodies, and souls intertwined and spiraling into a concentrated point of unity where it became difficult to tell if one ended and the other began.
The process of their coupling was a dizzying series of shifts, twists, and blends, a simultaneous slowing and racing of breaths and whispered words of nothing that held novels of meaning.
Even in the hours of their separations they were drawn together for just a moment again and again as the dance of passion shrank the space and time between them, sweet and simple words of love indicative of one unfathomable emotion running continuously through each and both of them.

Romance seems to be a recurring theme! Love your way with words, Lisa!
Thank you, Michelle. You know what’s funny? I would NEVER call myself a romance writer.
Wow…who knew? Such a romantic…. So well written! Real saddness that last line.
You know what, someone else said that about me a very long time ago. Although she meant the inspired-by-nature kind of romantic. But true perhaps on both counts. I hide it well. 😉
Real sadness in the last line? Yeah! Hot damn! 🙂
Beautiful and sad.
Ah, yes…thank you, Messymimi!

You are a master of words of passion. This is beautiful, with a yearning and sadness.
Val, thank you so much. Truly. I honestly didn’t know that about myself, but I find these things coming more and more often from my brain. Maybe I have some fiction in my after all.
I seem to remember a love like that a thousand years ago! Now gone too with the winds of time. What a great read this was.
Those are the most precious loves, Old Egg – those long-remembered ones that we hold in our hearts. So glad you enjoyed it!
Wow. I’m feeling a bit hot under the collar now.
Wow! Thanks, Liv.
