A Lovely Dream

I first met her on a holiday at Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve. 
Love strikes me like lightning when I saw her, 
so powerful and intense it can’t be denied. 
It turns me inside out, 
and there was no going back from it. 
Once the thunderbolt hits, my life irrevocably changed.

With a carved stem-thin figure,  
And sparkly appearance. 
Her pencil-thin eyebrows,
eased down gently to her velvety,
Eyelashes.
Her beauty is the celebrity's cute wind-swept 
twisting through
the late evening's darkening heavens.

Her smile shines stunningly 
like the sun rising over the skyline,
her luminous, heavenly-white teeth flashed 
as she pawed at me with her flick star nails.
Her gorgeousness is the stars 
that is now quivering into view 
as their star shine ends its life journey
as a whim I am.

Her enticing, constellation-blue eyes
gazed at me
over her syrup-sweet lips, 
She had a springy character 
and a syrupy voice, which I idolized.
She is like a candle's flickering flame,
radiating a soft warm light into me.

Her hair was ebony-black
and it tumbled over her shoulders.
Her beauty shines from the inside out,
It flows like a journey down a long route.
Those sugar candy-sweet lips,
her well-designed personality, 
all awestruck me.

Her eyes sparkle like a bright star in the sky,
seek out the good in me.
Her body ornately furnished with typically girlish curves,
Her voguish garments still kept enslaved an odor evocative
of lemony fresh and floral-fresh mint. 
It loitered in the apartment long after she had gone.
