Flesh Encounter

When I saw her in the flesh I knew she was real,
My eyes winked just to confirm that she was no freak
Took a step forward physically overwhelmed;
And fragile soft fingers busted my burning left cheek.

Two steps backwards with the third I faltered and fell,	
Bright stared lightening jolted the daylight from my toils,  
Sweet aroma in stunt attacks, lips try and quell;
Dejected, I know photos never bounce on recoil.
