Lovers Bridge.

Another beautiful sunny day here again. How nice after the constant rain of the past months. Mind you we are lucky here in that we were not affected by flooding as so many have been.

My last few hubs have been about the glorious springtime which is my favourite time of the year however there is great beauty in each season .

Yesterday I was sorting out my photos and came across photos of the riverside in the Seaside town of Aberaeron which is where I grew up. It is a beautiful town and over the glorious stretch of the River Aeron stand Lovers Bridge.

I had meant to share many photos of the riverside today but then into my mind crept this story ;however I have to add here that I made this one up as I went along and it is not a true legend.

I shall share all the other photos in another hub very soon.

This tale is a little sad but I hope you enjoy.

Each furtive glance

heartbeats racing

each careful footstep

brushing against

the dusty ground.

Inching forward

breath slightly rasping

at the silhouette

of her

sinful secret

but how could a sin feel so right.

The shadows veils

draped and dark;

faces masked

forms blurred.

Were they mocking

at her obvious flaws?

Were they ridiculing

her warmth

her passion

her all?

With open arms

her lover stood

with abandoned joy

she flowed

into their

strength

that raw need

to love the night away.

"Come now my love

fear no more!!"

"Come now my love

I will protect thee for sure!"

Feelings deepening

moment by moment.

There stood in the darkness

a solid form

of

'The Old Wishing Well.'

Cupid's arrows etched

deep in its walls;

he engraved their

names;

their love;

their all.

His lips found hers

in abandoned bliss;

inhibitions thrown

into the realms of time.

Whispered endearments

deep moans of raw pleasure;

oh how she craved his love;

how he gave her his all.

They lay united;

energies spent

in a sated bond;

two lovers in love.

Were they meant to be?

The time arrived

that parting inevitable

how their hearts ached

so wounded

so raw!!

Arms entwined

by the river banks

reaching that bridge;

now the pains of parting

stabbed

both hearts

and

thrust

deeply into

each soul!!

From the eerie shadows

lurked

an evil form;

that sneer

so cruel;

a scarred

face

so monstrous

so vile!!

A mind so cold

A spirit so evil!!

Forward

he crawled

well out of sight.

How dare she deceive him ;

this whore, his wife!!!!

A cracking branch

gave him away

the lovers turned to where he lay!!

Her heart screamed out in muted pains!!

This husband

who beat her

who cruelly mocked her

and

viciously raped her!!

With a roar of insanity

he charged and aimed

as the gunshot

pierced

the darkness

of the night.

On the break of dawn

a fisherman walked

on his start of a brand new day;

with horror he recoiled

feeling surges of repulsive

nausea

bilious

and

threatening

as he came upon

the blood stained forms

of the two lovers.

Arms entwined

united eternally.

Souls lay together

in heaven;

while

only their shells

lay saturated

in their own

pools of blood

that night.

On each beautiful

brand new dawn

angelic forms

flow

with arms entwined

and souls never again to be apart

stand in sweet repose

on what is today known as

Lovers Bridge.

Lovers Bridge

Oh sweet sensations

Volcanic powers of true love

Each heart so tender so true

Radiating in the sunshine's warmth

Sweet moments so tender .

x

By the river banks

Reaching out to love

In unreserved passion

Drawn to magnetic forces

Give your heart so fitting so clear

Etched deep into Lovers Bridge.

Here I wish you all a wonderful day and lots of love from my little corner of Wales.

Eddy.
