For a moment I had all corners of fate sealed Right in the palm of my hand I could explore all the avenues And I could determine what tomorrow brings And erase all my past blemishes That still sting even today
For a moment, I had it all laid out in front of me Your unwavering strength to overcome that which hurts you the most The gleam in your eyes when you talk about that which you hold dear The way you never talk of love in vain And how you manage to smile through all the pain
You took me through the blossoming Fields of your heart And acquainted me with all that blooms there in From a lilly To a daisy Ohhh the lovely scent of the jasmines Even the wildflowers did not look so wild For so long as they were nurtured by the beautiful strength of your soil Their roots strong like your will They seemed ever more beautiful in my eyes
For a moment I was not a stranger In the land you grew up in As foreign as it was to me For the different personalities I met All came from a nation of pure kindness and humility No one fought over property The elderly cared for the young And the young respected the elderly And in due time, the youth was well versed in all the stages of life including puberty
Then we took a short left To the grimmest corners of your neighborhood To meet those who are considered vile and most crooked around the hood And I learned that those souls needed healing Not necessarily that they were up to no good Maybe they did commit inhumane acts But it all came from a dark pit where hearts are left to bleed out to death And souls cry in the valley of their suffering with no one to hear their cries
Laughter shared and sadness spared Amongst two hearts that deeply cared Was preceded by the whine and grine Of skin on skin and heart to heart A tale of how two spirits got intimately entwined And a passion that transcended space and time My lips wrote poetry on your skin And your moans whispered a promise to my heart I could read the desire on your neck And I suddenly knew you were home Because your nails built a nest on my back
Perhaps all that aphrodisiac was incited by the red wine An evening bubbling with heartfelt stories and utmost openness There certainly was no room for grapevine The firm grip of your fingers on the sheets And my fingers in your hair Rendering each fold in between my fingers A fine art made of twine I was just consumed whole By the bone shattering ecstasy of two bodies merged into one For in that instant, we shared the same heart And through my rhythm I could find yours In that instant I was thine And thee mine
Before the morning sunshine That pierced through the windows shook me awake I was still dreaming about your eyes How they resemble the beautiful sky Above the roof that covered our heads From a distance I could hear a flock of chirping birds And the sound of ocean waves Flowing and receding just to kiss the shore But that was all in a moment of trance When I had the chance To glance into your beautiful eyes Perhaps for the last time Or the first of many But It matters not, for that one night alone was just divine
Well maybe I totally blew it Maybe I nailed it to the core But these are standards to which Only your heart can give the score For it was a night filled with oxymorons and metaphors I mean who am I to ask such questions When I was just another nobody Who took a casual stroll in your mental streets And spent one night in your sheets Before I knew it, my time was over I had to get back to my normal life And shake off my deep sleep.
