catching feelings in Bohemia

Miles and miles away from home

I waltz my way across a profound alien town

As we walk across the cemetery intersections

I notice the depth of your voice,

So deep, it sends shivers down my spine.

Few nights later,

We walk up the Stalin wall

One drink after the other

I may be losing my grip

I couldn’t blame myself

The air is infectious up here

You give me your hand

safely guiding me along the rickety stairs

I feel your naked flesh for the very first time

Your hands briefly clasped upon mine.

Bees swarming upon my head

I try to brush your thoughts aside

Only to be consumed by it again.

As the Days go by…

I steal glances of you, time and again

That tender aura you emanate
the way you brush  your hair
those penetrating look in your eyes.

How I wish at times

I could understand you better,

The continent you hail from,

The values you adhere to,

the silly jokes you laugh at,

the story behind the void in your eyes

reflecting from time to time.

I close my eyes

Swaying myself in this picturesque city

seeming like a fairy tale,

haunted with  tales of passion and love.

If wishes were horses,

I would with all my heart

Make you a wreath for your beautiful finger

Adorned with lilacs and lavender

Wedding you in my memory forever.
