Unfamiliar

Veiled under a sheer red silk cloth, She lay naked for a while. An hour to dawn, Breathing in the darkness, She hopes to again be born. Tasting A sweet breeze, Seeing A million stars, Still a void stays Like there’s no end to the night. Reveling in the carousel of placidness, She lets her mind standstill. The presence of the present, A sudden click she feels. Captured like a melody in her mind the vagueness spread, Like waves frozen in winter, Her naked skin played. A beguiling aura holds her heart, A writhe for pleasure returns. Lost in interpretation were the emotions, The blaze deeply burns. Unaware and confused, She rather closes her eyes. Letting the night swathe and usher her into another day, She’ll wait for the song to pass & the desires to settle, The longing to hold, And the heart to reel, Back into a familiar place.
