PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I come down the ramp. My eyes, beaming all around the room searching for where she could be frantically. My luggage doesn’t concern me, all that matters is her. And for one moment I see her.  I see her searching just as intensively as I was. I feel my heart soothing and melting like butter on a warm day and as I catch my breath for a moment, our eyes meet. There isn’t even a chance to breath. We both race towards each other, and embrace in the instant. Like two butterflies mating, it is both beautiful and exhilarating. For a moment in time, I can’t feel my heart beating. I imagine that’s how a humming bird feels while it flies, it doesn’t feel, it just does what it does.               

                My arms around her, holding her close as I wouldn’t let go no matter the price. It’s like we never want to let go even for a second in time. Her small body encapsulated by my warm broad caring arms and her arms gently around me but enough to let me know she is there. It almost feels surreal. It’s amazing that something that started out as a feeling can grow to be something so big and real. We separate slightly, her eyes glistening just trying to hold her tears back. It’s like the public doesn’t exist. Everyone else is moving in slow motion while every movement is in hyper speed between us. Eye to eye, we face our fears. With the breath I have, I utter her name. It sounds so familiar, yet never spoken.

                But in the moment she bursts within my arms into a bunch of green ones and zeroes. The world around me shatters. I fall to my knees defeated. Eye to eye I face my fear.

                My eyes open. I sit up and all that goes through my mind as a pleasant smile slowly grows on my face ironically.

                “Just that dream again I guess...” I say to myself. I look on my bedside table. 11029 hours until my dreams become a reality.
