I walked down the road
More anxious than I had been an hour before
Not knowing why I felt this way
Not knowing what it was that lay ahead of me
With every footstep I could see the dust rising
Feel my heart pumping blood harder through me
And just when I thought my chest would burst
That the pressure building up inside me would finally rapture
I saw her
Her sight so intense it could calm even the fiercest of beasts
And tame the wildest of hearts
I sat next to her and everything felt right in the world
The smell of the sea all around
Seeing the waves rise and gently land on the shore
The sand tingling between my toes
The sun dancing and circling in and out of the clouds
As if playing hide and seek with the world around
Casting shadows around us
We sat there and talked
Being mesmerized by her eyes and voice
Her word enticing every fiber of my being
Intriguing, arousing and captivating my mind
Being drawn closer to her
Until our lips met
Both of us reluctant and unprepared at first
Pulling back after a short while
An awkward silence followed
And as we turned to talk our lips seemed to find their way to each other once again
Our lips entwined as one
Each greedy for the other
Lip on lip
Tongue on tongue
Her hand reached out and touched mine
What I felt I cannot put into words
And a wonder occurred
The pain, hurt, anger hatred and helplessness I felt vanished
And within me where there was a black hole
A warmth, blazing light searing as intense as the sun
Burning and building up
Coursing through my veins
Making me gasp for air
While our lips moved together in sync with each other
Killing the darkness and chaos within
Its momentum building till finally reached its climax and we parted
The sun hidden all this while behind the clouds and as its rays started to shine
It seemed to be surrounding her
As if it was she who was the source of the light
And as I reached to touch her
Her image faded and all went dark
I awoke with a start with my hand outstretched to the heavens
I sat there panting trying to catch my breath
I lay back down
Knowing that she brought out the best in me
And took it with her as she left
Knowing I had fallen like no mere mortal had before
For this terrestrial being
Now as I closed my eyes
All that was left of that fateful and blissful day
Was a memory and a dream
Accompanied by the tear flowing down my cheek.
