My Anchor

My anchor

I met you on a summer day

Mists had cleared and dews long dried

The sun, blazing and scorching

Forced earthling to bow to its rays

On the day you gushed into my life.

Your immense beauty overwhelmed me

I succumed to the scent that derived from your skin

My gaze stuck on your oppulent face

On the little movements as your chest heaved in and out rapid breaths

I sensed your heart race away in a gallop to my touch

Would I ever catch up to it I wondered.

Still that day you captured my heart.

I recall your smile - so pearlescent

Your laughter- a melody of a morning lark

Like waves in a summer breeze, your voice was

Grapping my knees, overpowering me

On the day you touched my soul.

On that day, time stood still

Deathning silence enveloped the space 

And but for a while, only you and I existed

Earth opened her arms and wrapped us in a warm embrace

My heart filled with gaity and bliss, your eyes shone.

You awakened me from a slumber

Decaded by lonesome and emptiness...

You breathed life, lifted me

And off my heart raced to meet up with you...

I cannot forget that day.

For once my inhibitions were lost

My resolves weakened

I forgot my status and prestige 

I gave in to love.

For a moment then, my fantasy became

My own Utopia was created

And there we dwelled, 

in an island with no harm or prejudice

Rejoicing in the make believe

In our own reality but for a while

Yet in my heart you existed

And there you shall remain 

For my eternity and for my salvation...
