Seismic Longing

Along the corridors both in white overcoats,
I think that’s what unifies us, what charges the environment
Even with light shakes and occasional jades
With larks pretence to just keep the handshake a little longer
Every meeting moment, both a boon and bane
‘I really wish to see her, but again the sparks just fly uncontrollably’
I’m afraid she sees through my soul
Analysing every thought after thought
Drawing clear disparage of the person before her and the brave 
Lad still unveiled, my breath and britches
I felt her thoughts through her breath,
Her heart pulsating, her chest heaving up and down
Wasn’t that the motion of love?
As her mint white teeth confirms how pure her soul is
I immediately fix a tryst to warm myself on ambers of her purity
Besides the slow flowing waters I waited
Just how slow they were, waiting to witness affirmation of love
The setting sun a little ablaze, theming the evening with amber hue
Knowing that should it wait longer, might I be shy to look at my beloved
With silhouettes forming, dusk creeping in, the serene nature
Confirms how imaginary beings waited
How massive onlookers were to the secret nuptiality
How ready I was to my confession blatant make
Slowly she approached…
Each of her steps firmly knocking on my heart,
My mind played sudden games, reliving her before her arrival
Her sweet familiar scent, emanating from the surrounding green
With the blow of a breeze, pushing last of its wave down my core
Fresh roses in my hand smelt of her
Random bougainvillea repainting her graceful statue
Fresh lilies equating her to a goddess, ready to command my life
As I knelt on my one knee, affirming my allegiance
I saw her stretch forth her hand
She, holding her heart in her palms
Smiley, gaiety, my hands stretched forth to receive it
As I startled to the present,
At the touch of plastic kidney dish,
Hey Heman, stat blood samples please…
And the sound of running lab tap water
Really confirmed my daydream
Looking up, I stared into her smile,
Same smile
Same girl,
Same goddess!
