My Quest and the deep blue ocean - by Tisha

My Quest

Paradise found….paradise lost,

an everlasting quest,

for the unknown enigma that is you.,

Just out of reach,

so near

yet so unreachable.

A distant memory

of your soft brown eyes,

full of compassion, mirth and fire,

your hair, with bronze highlights,

shining in the late afternoon sun.

your aura of mystery and  intelligence,

all mixed together,

is all that my mind recalls.

Your closeness disconcerted me 
at our farewell,

a soft brush of your sensual lips 
against mine,

your eyes wildly surprised 
at my unsuspected gesture.

If only you knew,

how my heart is yearning

for your touch,

for your voice whispering my name

softly behind my ear,

for your lips touching my sensitive neck.

The gates of paradise would open

in all its glory,

and reveal pent-up emotions

of unpredictable magnitude.

fire and lust,

desire and a promise of fulfillment

But my incompleteness just deepens,

with the uncertainty

of a re-encounter

of unfinished desires,

left unattended for too long.

Paradise lost on the horizon,

as I stare sad and without hope

at the immense ocean before me.
