“Enchantment”

I am enchanted as if in a dream:
I am half-asleep half-awake,
White sheets are in heaps all over my bed,
I want to see your face and …I can’t…

I see your silhouette at dusk –
I could barely make up your image,
I could smell your body’s musk,
This makes me high and dizzy…

I feel your hands, gentle and strong,
Shaking, caressing my hair and face…
I am trying to recall that stroke,
Digging deep in my mind and …I can’t…

My thoughts, my fantasies, my life
Are orbiting this blurry image in the dusk
For many days, and weeks, and months….
You are my Fate, my newly-found love…
