ETERNITY
I sit weary, crestfallen, somber, jaded
Both my heart and my body enveloped, shaded.
When my eyes behold the most incredible sight:
A woman most gorgeous glowing in the light.
My eyes catch hers and hers catch mine;
The most gorgeous shade of brown you'd ever find.
Normally I would turn, fearful, and withdraw,
But instead I am captive, hers, enthralled.
With the slightest of motion she raises her hand,
Fingers waving, before on her wine glass they once more land,
And my sadness was then, by feelings most define, eclipsed,
When a smile most radiant and glorious danced across her lips.
'To hell with reservation,' I thought as I arose,
As my body trembled, hardly able to keep on my toes.
Avoiding the urge to beat a hasty retreat,
Until I stop, parched mouth, and ask for a seat.
A chuckle and grin and a “Go right ahead,”
My heart beating once more, oh good, I'm not dead.
I sit, the light beating upon my skin,
Unable to conceal the joy I hold within.
We talk and laugh and revel in fun
Until both dinner and dessert are done.
And my smile is just impossible to hide
When she asks me to “help her” walk outside.
Once at her car, she gives me a wink
As she gives me her number, the real thing I do think.
“We will have to meet again,” She says as she smiles once more,
And the jokester inside me resists the urge to scream “SCORE!”
Then it happened.
The greatest moment in my life.
Past, present and future.
EVER.
I reached out once more, this time holding her hand,
Fingers intertwining, as I pulled her close.
Our eyes closed simultaneously in anticipation
And our lips met, soft, sweet, tender, heaven.
Every curve, every line of those sweet lips memorized,
Arms moving behind her, tugging close in desperation.
We simply held each other close, relaxed, breathing,
And we never stopped...
For eternity.
