I was feeling generous so I just wanted to share with you a poem from my second poetic offering 'Cinnamon & Sin' out very soon...
“I NEVER DREAMED IT WAS YOU”
When I saw your face in the crowd I looked back in a double take I stopped in surprise I didn’t think it’d be you… I never dreamed it was you… Could be you… Would ever be you… again… I didn’t want to believe my eyes It had been so long I thought you were dead My heart came into my mouth My soul filled with dread A flood of emotions returned instantly Took me back the time we last met I recalled our passionality… ‘Ha!’, the cynical me cried When you left it was like I’d died And gone to hell and back And never moved on From the emptiness your loss left behind What if… This was only a dream? Was it really you? Could you be real? As you walked closer to me Others moved out of the way They could see something was happening That there would be magic this day I hesitated stretching out my arms Wondering whether or not to embrace you Thinking maybe you were a mirage But if you… (No…) Then if you… (No!) Might not respond as I intended to… But you did the same as I You were like my reflection Doing as I… ‘Doo Wah Diddy Diddy Dum Diddy Doo…’ Forgive my momentary lapse of disbelief Deep down I knew it was you Though my rational mind didn’t want to believe it was true The way you looked at me The longing… The longing I felt emanating Like a tsunami from you An unstoppable force You didn’t want to give into… The curiosity… Was I real? We were here I could touch you You could feel me right there You in front of me I held your face Touched your hair Held you close, I kissed your nose I kissed your lips Over my heart I put your fingertips… I felt our heartbeats sync in time… And I melted in your embrace For forever I knew you were mine What I didn’t know Was how much I’d denied I’d missed you… Until the moment I stared deep into your eyes I saw my soul reflected in yours reflected in mine Dancing in light Singing in harmony Connecting, intertwining again… Like an unbreakable elastic band stretched out Further than the eye could see That tethered us together for eternity An infinite circle that eventually brought us back together Swallowing air, I tried not to cry Instead I thanked God Almighty I didn’t want to ask him why Or how you came to be Here… now… because… This reunion made everything else that hurt for so long Bearable… forgettable… The not knowing what happened to you In the years that passed in war A famine and hunger for you That raged inside me Until I though I was going starving mad… It all suddenly… it suddenly all… disappeared And I didn’t care for that pain any more For it was to be replaced with such a joy Making us complete once more With the missing pieces of us reuniting When you breathed back you into me with one kiss.
