Seismic Longing

Along the corridors both in white overcoats, I think that’s what unifies us, what charges the environment Even with light shakes and occasional jades With larks pretence to just keep the handshake a little longer Every meeting moment, both a boon and bane ‘I really wish to see her, but again the sparks just fly uncontrollably’ I’m afraid she sees through my soul Analysing every thought after thought Drawing clear disparage of the person before her and the brave Lad still unveiled, my breath and britches I felt her thoughts through her breath, Her heart pulsating, her chest heaving up and down Wasn’t that the motion of love? As her mint white teeth confirms how pure her soul is I immediately fix a tryst to warm myself on ambers of her purity Besides the slow flowing waters I waited Just how slow they were, waiting to witness affirmation of love The setting sun a little ablaze, theming the evening with amber hue Knowing that should it wait longer, might I be shy to look at my beloved With silhouettes forming, dusk creeping in, the serene nature Confirms how imaginary beings waited How massive onlookers were to the secret nuptiality How ready I was to my confession blatant make Slowly she approached… Each of her steps firmly knocking on my heart, My mind played sudden games, reliving her before her arrival Her sweet familiar scent, emanating from the surrounding green With the blow of a breeze, pushing last of its wave down my core Fresh roses in my hand smelt of her Random bougainvillea repainting her graceful statue Fresh lilies equating her to a goddess, ready to command my life As I knelt on my one knee, affirming my allegiance I saw her stretch forth her hand She, holding her heart in her palms Smiley, gaiety, my hands stretched forth to receive it As I startled to the present, At the touch of plastic kidney dish, Hey Heman, stat blood samples please… And the sound of running lab tap water Really confirmed my daydream Looking up, I stared into her smile, Same smile Same girl, Same goddess!
