Autumn Fall

It was an Autumn evening 
With its cold always predicted

I rushed out of a taxi with a haste to meet the one who stole my heart  
She kept reentering my mind!
I have never been so much attached to her image in my mind 

She was glowing off lately, her signs of happiness were all over the place 
Written all over her face and that is what I witnessed 
Maybe happiness was a four-letter word, I reckoned! 

Walking towards her place seemed longer that autumn evening 
There was a moment I wanted to jog 
A great idea employed my mind that I did not want to sweat 

When I am with her, I cherish every minute that comes with it 
I arrived at last 
I was prompted to send her a text notifying her of my arrival 

Within a minute I saw her bracket, sexy legs making their way towards me 
It was only a while when I heard her sweet voice 

Again, it seemed longer to reach her house and by this time I was care free 
She was right next to me and that was the only thing making logic  

I gathered my thoughts as I walked into her room to put the traditional bag I was gifted 
I walked towards her in the kitchen as she concluded with her call 

The warmth and chills I felt all at the same time mesmerized all my state of mind 
I felt her scent and her warmth
I knew at that moment I could define everything in a line 

She was freedom, longevity, tranquility and made me smile deeply 
She had me discovering this scientific rare formula in my head 

I felt her heartbeat against my own and by then I knew she was my all, the one I have always been searching for 

Her kiss invited the motive for sex
Sex, I never thought would happen prematurely 

My mind went on a field trip with notions 
On such occasions people meet and great
And us we broke boundaries, the status quo 

Everything seemed scripted with directors yelling “Action!”
The cameras were rolling with every sex scene we had as we kissed passionately 
She was a great kisser, I placed all the blame to her on the scene of the crime 
God Outlaws! 

Her sexy naked body was in a shower we shared together and my lips losing control kissed her watery ones 
I was so lost in my world 

I knew I had a great story to tell
She was mine and I knew she was all that I longed 
The audience were our inner souls which captured every move we made
