Rhyme Time 3
Title: Rhyme Time 3
Across the dappled common areas,
Close to the stone in-crested buildings
Of the university, most masterfully, well built, solid
His steps fell into place with mine.
I felt his breath on the nape of my neck,
And I knew he was back, ‘I feel you’, my heart said.
That’s when I felt his left hand on my lower back.
I let out a soft sigh, so content, knowing without
Knowing how I knew, that this me is the REAL
Me - the me I don’t show to the world,
Only to him.
I turned to see what he looked like, imagining him dark, curly,
Tall, handsome. ‘Foolish to ask,’ he said in a mind way,
Not verbally. I knew only one thing. He was no one else’s to cherish,
He had been created for me. He was mine.
I could sense a wariness in him, a longing, a wondering, not unlike
My own soul; it is as if we were mates, amid many lifetimes; I knew him
And he knew me.
I could feel his love for me, and it was so deep, it shocked me to my core.
I knew he could feel my love too. He laughed at my impatience, and
Wanting. “Not yet,” he told me.
I was thunderstruck by his presence, more him than ever now, he
Directed me until I was under a beautiful weeping almond tree, with
Blossoms created by the gods. ‘Soon,’ he told me. I wanted so much more.
