SHE VANISHED

I sat on the stool mulling

Lost in pensivity, mouth drooling

Pages in my mind began to flap

A panoramic review that rushed like a tap

I was lost in this stream of unconsciousness

And she flashed through my mind in all her sumptuousness

She was like lightning in a dreary dark night

She was sparkling like a shimmering white light

Her page stood still as my mind began to read

She was a bloomy belle, a sacred seed

She was young, naive and eager for love

With milky skin and gut-wrenching curves

She blazed in the sun like South African diamond

She’d got eyes like alluring almonds

I stood transfixed on this exquisite creature

At that point, I must say, I loved nature

She turned and stared at me with frightened eyes

Why the fear? I pondered. But there wasn’t time for WHYs

I trudged forward, my eyes beckoning appealingly

Her lips parted like she would smile and come willingly

She turned sharply and began to walk fast away

Uhh! What irony. I followed, oblivious of what to say

In my whole being, the glimmer of fear shone

I could not fathom loosing the particles of my bones

She was the subject of my frantic fantasy

She was an object that could offer me endless ecstasy

No! I wouldn’t let her go. “Hi!” I screamed aloud

I got no response; she vanished into the crowd.
