New Years Eve

We held hands and held hearts

My heart was pounding her heart was thumping

Threatening to beat out of our chests

We spoke little but we said all there was

I held her close as we took a stroll

A walk to remember to end that December

She smiled

It was beautiful

She was beautiful

Gracefully adorned in shades of pink that swept the ground

Upon which she walked

She took her steps well

Oh she did otherwise my mind will be sore

For though by my side

She was walking everywhere up in my head

The few she spoke fell like dew to the ground

Her every word was refreshing to the bone

We just walked on and on

Guided by nothing

It felt as though there was something to do

Or somewhere to be

Before the year flew away

And took with it a hope that was hidden

A desire that was covered

And a friendship that was least anticipated

Then like a rehearsed play

Like the sound of the notes of a well arranged song

Like a Hollywood movie

Or one the few good fantasies

We came to a stop

Within a second

December was over

Heavy sounds of stifling fear

Like cannons from the past were heard everywhere

Many shots fired, many hearts ablaze

Many eyes wandering many minds wondering

Many hopes flaring and dreams rising

As, in just a moment

The New Year’s sky was lighted up

Fireworks everywhere

Beautiful colors of red and yellow and green

And of purple and lavender and pink

There was beauty in the air

And more than that there was love shed abroad

For in that moment

Like two possessed lovers

Without either of us doing too much or resisting

Our eyes met

Our lips were wet

Our heads could no more control where they went

Our lips locked like the yarns of a net

I pulled her close

She fell in my arms

And with nothing said

I heard all she said

That she was all mine

Body, heart and mind
