Tribute To Atiya

As rain keeps pouring down, 
I’m submerging deeper and deeper with each drop
Into the art of contemplating you.

Intensified passion fills my veins, 
I feel nothing but the sensation of your skin against mines
Throbbing me through an euphoric trance. 

I can’t breathe, I’m losing sight. 
I’m in complete darkness with these emotions,
The ones that have embarked my soul. 

I’m overwhelmed, I’m drowning. 
The pressure against my chest grows
Unable to find grip, I let go. 

From darkness to light, 
I’m mesmerized by the psychedelic experience 
Of autonomy I discovered of myself in you. 

I smile. 
I remember where I am,
As I snap back from thinking of you.
