The world where I stood was a desert thirsty for a pint of rain; longing for a kiss that never came. Not until you did.
Everything started with a droplet of your essence, Out of nowhere. Unexpected. YOU... yes you MANIFESTED. Without notice, you took me by surprise. A beautiful surprise I say. For the first time in a while I felt, my worries washed away by your presence. Hot sand turned mud where then I lay.
In those moments I lost, all anxieties brought by drought. When through the years I thought I'd never touch the rain I ought to ardently pray for every night. Imbued I was with your* "love".
clothes soaked. body wet. soul drunk.
your name the promise I mutter through the drizzle. This body jived to the beat of a million sizzle.
Moments passed faster than it seemed. I, taken away by lust of a parched soul.
I slurped. I gulped. I glugged.
as much as I could, never thinking of what I would drink in the latter. When the land runs dry; when then again,I'm deprived of water.
So then, what caught me by surprise, left without a word... woah,SURPRISE! everything turned back the way it was; an arid heart in a blink of an eye.
But what makes me wonder is this delusive sense, of your cooling touch amidst this false pretense;
I smellβ Your scent stick to my chest like perfume odour. My nostrils clogged with the aroma of your neck. A waft that distorts the senses of thisconsumed man.
Thoughts of you linger long after you are gone... *Like the fragrance of rain that stays after the downpour.
