The first image that struck me when I searched. I loved it! — image courtesy — darksouls1 via PIXABAY

“…This is what you are hiding. More of this! more! more!” That’s what keeps ringing in my head. Tormenting me till morning and making me write this. Thanks to WalkerJojones as I squeezed everything I got to write this one. I know it’s not perfect but I loved the process. Oh! and thanks to Tremaine L. Loadholt for fanning the fire :)

A sharp gaze
into Heaven’s face
At a fast pace
I felt my heart race

She planted a soft kiss on my lips
I closed my eyes pretending to be asleep

I squint a little,
to behold her beauty
Strong and Subtle,
were all her qualities

Fleeting shadow of lashes
portraying firmness and strength
Pure face and Mild skin,
to portray softness and Love

She was heavens to me
I was a toddler to her

She walked her fingers gently over my body
As I crawled into her arms for Safety

I was willing to give up everything,
just to remain in the moment.
She was willing to take the whole of me
one moment in time.

She was light to me,
and not Flame.

NO!
She was flame to me,
and not light.

She was a flame,
Consuming every ounce of matter in my body

I felt consumed by her beauty
A heartless and Fierce Beauty,
Fierce enough to kill the beast in me.
The Beast that resist loving.

Then I advanced my lips,
to release the whole of me
before her loving chokes me.

But I woke up
Only to realise,
All was just a dream

That’s what they were
That’s what she was
Just some Stupid Lucid Dream.
