Stranger In the Night

My heart is humming a wonderful tune; I had made an appointment to meet you at noon. I have waited for you to come before the sun had gone down but the sweltering heat beneath my feet scorched my endurance. You came like a lightening rod and saturate in core of my soul disrupting every tissue, muscle and sinew, tossing my innate desire into a ball of fire. It keeps spreading and burning everything until a heavy shower narrow its path. It immediately changed its course and swept slowly away from the shore. How and where it started I cannot tell but I just cannot get you out of my head, I twist and turn and walk about, I run inside and outside but everywhere I go you are there; you are spreading the heat in my head and creating havoc all over the bed. The days get longer and the night are shorter and hours drift and drift. I stare at the giant tree before me with its branches embracing me and the message is written in its leaves and scattered pollen in the breeze. I saw you standing in the distance holding your sweet and sour chicken and humming a traditional hymn. A hymn that was born of slavery; A hymn that gives you glory. They call it benevolence, some call it charity but I call it friendship. How did you get here? And what am I doing here? The sea shells are beating on the seashore and my heart is crying out for more. Will you come and wrap your arms around my head and spread your warmth in my bed. I have traveled a thousand miles to see you but a cheerful throng surround you, the crowd was so thick but I kept pressing until the crowd dissolved. I wish I know what to do to end this mystical you. Yet it is that part of me and that part of you that keeps me alive.
