Life in Technicolor – Part V
By Brandon Palzkill
Cherubs raced across the sky
on brilliant shooting stars
and stole the air
from her heaving breast
as her speeding heart
sprinted toward
a joyously abrupt halt.
His fingertips brushed her face
and everything became
real to them;
or mirage,
cast out of blinding despair;
he had truly come back to her
after an eternity
and a day.
“I’ve missed you,” he quavered,
fixing adoring eyes
on his long-lost Aphrodite,
and her tender smile
painted a beautiful Hallmark
greeting card;
a “Welcome Back”
filled with unfaltering love.
He returned her affection
in kind;
she trembled and swooned,
and nearly melted
beneath the violet glow
of intense longing
that shimmered behind his
sparkling eyes;
a sparkle that spoke
a million words.
The silent wanting became
sonorous,
and she couldn’t bear it.
She pulled him into
her warm embrace
and felt their hearts
beating in passionate
synchronicity
as they shared this first
of physical connections.
The embrace became a kiss,
and no greater kiss
had ever been known.
The longing of eternal months,
spent miles apart,
surged through their
melded lips,
as a spark of lightning,
cast down from the heavens.
Their lips parted
and they were deeply
under each other’s spell.
She made an unspoken offer;
an intimate invitation.
He accepted
with an enthralled nod,
and they followed each other off
for a proper reunion.
