Poem Title:
Poem
The naked skyline falls into a quiet darkness, slick sidewalks and flickering street lights bid farewell as I enter the elevator to her loft, fifth floor My day was long, but worth it, she makes it worth it The hallway is silent… I knock lightly, no answer, letting myself in I see her through the open glass doors I let her hear my footsteps… a slow drizzle shimmers on the big city Her perfume tempts my senses as she peers from the balcony’s iron rail into the vast cavern of sleeping buildings… like a rose petal hourglass She feels me…closer…her black dress and red heels against the dark backdrop of dreary skies silhouette her beauty, she is a poem waiting to be read, a song you can’t get out of your head or would want to I place my arms about her waist, she turns, moist ruby lips infectious, eyes hiding her story find mine, the rain falling like diamond tear drops decorates her cheeks as she smiles and my heart is flooded with light We embrace, a deep passionate kiss, locked in haunting silence speaking louder than any words, all that was cold becomes warm as moisture seeps, dampening my skin, and I don’t care She is what love is… a hot cup of coffee on a cold winter day, a cool breeze in the middle of August, a beautiful delicate flower blooming from a crack in the asphalt on that long, endless highway of life…and she is mine
