Rendezvous
Rendezvous
We had breakfast in bed
And watched the sunrise over the ocean
The strawberries, grapes, French toast, and orange juice
All tasted like the sweetest ambrosia
After breakfast I held you in my arms
And we kissed
Within the sanctuary of your love
I felt complete
At noon, we walked barefoot along the beach
In the shallow water, where the ocean kisses the shore
We talked for hours, and really connected
Body, mind, and soul
As evening approached
We stopped at a deserted part of the beach
And made passionate love
Your vanilla skin moved smoothly across mine
And I gazed into your deep blue eyes
I tasted the romance on your lips
But failed to notice the ominous clouds on the horizon
Exhausted from passion, we eventually collapsed in each other’s arms
Still sweaty, and breathing heavily-
We looked up at the magnificent display of stars
Our naked bodies illuminated by the moonlight
As a shooting star danced across the sky
I turned, kissed your strawberry lips, and said “I love you”
As if my lips tasted of poison, you immediately pulled away
And began to weep bitter tears
The more I tried to comfort you, the more you pulled away
Eventually saying, in between tears
That our romantic rendezvous would soon be over
I promised to love you forever
But you cast me out of your heart
Like a fallen angel from heaven
Heartbreak began to swallow me like quicksand
And I begged you to reconsider
Still myself confused from the sudden turn of events
You kissed me one last time, and then vanished
From the sanctuary of your love, I was banished
Left alone to sink in the quicksand of heartbreak
And eventually drown in an ocean of loneliness
Surrendering to despair
I lay my head down, closed my eyes, and began to drift away
As my last bit of consciousness faded
My alarm clock rang
And I awoke in a cold sweat of freezing tears…
Most dreams eventually fade
But the memory of your deep blue eyes
Which were both as gentle and ferocious as the sea
Never have
