Wife's Story About Her First Lover

She said that she once loved
With passions - unrestrained
With heart and soul and mind
Filled with a wildness
Primitive - untamed,
Her very being
Bound beyond repair,
When youth and life,
The world and all in it
Delighted her with loving care,
It was a time
Of heaven and of bliss
And I, for my part, jealously,
Cursed fate and gods above
For I have never loved like this...
