RENDEZVOUS WITH LOVE...

‘My Love, here I am’-I hear her say;

Resuscitating from my bed of pain.

In the realm of stars, she dazzles like the moon,

Singing, for me to come to her rescue.

Here in the darkness, I follow her light,

She plays and taunts me in the mid of the night.

Washed by the winds and passionate flare,

She stops in a dome to meet my stare.

She calls me along, like the goddess of love.

Hypnotized I follow; together now, like two doves.

Her skin is soft, caution in my touch;

I burn like fire; she smiles like a murmuring rose.

‘Close your eyes My Love’-I do as she says,

‘My love is for you, forever, from this day.’

I tighten my embrace, she shivers with life.

I wish for a kiss, she invites without strife.

I feel the darkness scurrying away.

Golden beams dancing: inviting the day.

Eyes shut; I go on for my wish.

Gone; all I hear is an airy hiss.
