The One Who Got Away

An enchanting silhouette shimmers in the distance She possesses a beauty so deep that it penetrates your Soul; Sends shivers up your spine and suddenly You are short of breath, but your eyes can’t stop Catching glimpses of soft skin across the way Her eyes catch yours racing over her body. Your Heart stops. She looks away again, but Extracting your fixed gaze is nearly impossible She has put you in a trance without saying a word And then she moves; Feet dance across the floor All you can focus on is the shape of her Body moving closer as you smell sweet revenge Seeping from her pores. Your heart races, and your palms, They sweat. You taste her as she glides past you Eyes following, your head turns in tune with her body You are numb. Can’t move. But, mustn’t let her get away. Her energy lifts you up from your chair as you run, Run as fast as you can after this creature from above But you cannot catch up. She slips fast away with the Wind. She is gone. Gone. Gone. Gone. Gone. Your body hits the wet ground. And you are left sobbing Like a child who has lost his dear mother. You lay Wishing you had stopped her as she walked past you Wishing you had gotten up to follow her a second sooner Wishing you were fast enough to capture her heart But you were too enthralled to picture yourself with her For you believed you were not worthy. Yet, she will forever Rest in the back of your mind, as the divine woman who Penetrated your soul, and walked away with your dignity.
