She touched his forehead with her pinky
and he fell out of his body
and into a state of dream and wonder
floating between the slow movement of eternity
and the quick death of the moment
and she spoke of many things
and with every word
that flowed from her mouth
he saw fireworks burst with magic
in the coffee colors of her eyes
and with one sentence
she tickled his intellect
and with the next
gave a feast for his mind
to ponder and savor
and with a gentle word
of this and that
she warmed the deepest pools within his heart
and he saw colors he had not seen before
as she removed each layer of mystery
of the skin of her tattooed soul
and she was a riddle of beauty and truth
and a secret not meant to be unlocked
but only understood by listening attentively
and a new spectrum of light
beamed from her heart
and out through her ribs
and she showed him the meaning of life
with a simple laugh and a mischievous grin
and then gently lifted him back into his body
and then sealed him back in with a kiss
over the hole her pinky had made
and then vanished into the mist
of a love lost dream
