---Wanderlust

My late evening promenade
brought me here,
I walked consciously at the pavement,
Oblivious of the distance I've traveled.
I hear crickets hum their own tunes.
Dewdrops glistened as moonlight struck on the grass.
In the midst of nowhere,
It's paradise, I'm alone.
Under the crescent moon,
I groped, at an slow pace.
With my head downcast,
I saw a shadow,
another figure, thriving for a direction,,..
Like me.
As I looked up, our eyes met.
Doldrums creased on his face.
We exchanged glances,
Gazes akin to feelings.
Like a raconteur, narrating both our past.
Pains and emptiness that spells your suffering,
Fears and longings I harbored.
Silently we talked.
While I willingly listened,
as you whispered softly.
Words only loneliness knew.
Yet, we both understand.
He reached closer to me,
until our body touched.
An embrace, planting more emotions in ou core.
I didn't refuse in anyway.
No words to say.
Gradually, you moved and held my chin.
You press gently your lips on mine,
Damp and cold.
Suddenly, I turned away and looked
into your eyes... then I cried.
It's not regret I felt,
nor pain it emanates.
In the serenity of the night,
Your heart raced faster, I can hear
We belong to a different world..I said
It's not me you need yet..
Time, peace or it's yourself you ought to find.
"Did I hurt you?",I asked.
"No." you replied,
Though I know that you lied.
I looked around and saw the sun
has ascend to the horizon.
Like a wicker in your heart,
Igniting the embers of cheers
Abiding within you for years.
I guess we are a poltergeist of the waking life.
Trying to create a world that only our mind can make.
So the moon bid goodbye for another day to come,
While the cold of the night melts as the sun climbs,
And crickets hum with diminishing sound, We also bid Adieu.
Quietly, I assured, We'll meet again. I'm sure we will.
Without turning back , we started separately our journey,
A journey no one knows the end.
