Souls Intertwined

Souls Intertwined

©2006, Basil Sands

Sunlight flashed across my eyes

Breaking the darkness of morning slumber

And in a brief moment of perception

I saw your face

Sitting, serious, staring down at a table

Dark hair hung loosely down the sides of your head

Soft and shimmering in the glow of light from a window

You were waiting

Waiting for someone

Someone to come to you

Someone to call to you

I stood still

To see what would happen

Staring at you

Your perfect form, perfect face

Like a flower before my eyes

Like a gem of most precious beauty

I could not take my eyes off of your loveliness

Like a statue

I was unable to leave the spot on which my feet were planted

Unable to turn my face from the rapturous vision before me

As if an enchantment had grasped my spirit and held me

In a wondrous prison of perfect beauty

Glancing up you saw me

Pushed silken hair back behind your soft shoulder

With clear brown eyes sparkling as if a thousand stars

Were being created in your gaze

You looked into the depths of my being

We smiled at one another

Our souls became intertwined

In love that reached beyond our bodies

Waves of euphoric pleasure rolled over us

Our spirits riding love's moonlit tide

I awoke

And watched you softly breathing

In the darkness I listened to you softly breathing

Your head on the pillow next to mine

And adored you
