serendipities

 
I can still picture the way those eyes ran through me,

penetrating my soul.

The warmth of his hand searing onto my cheek.

I never felt more alive

than in that spare moment.

A flash of serendipity that casted me

into nirvana for a split second;

the only thing cocooning me in

was that raspy voice and rainforest eyes.

I wanted him to swallow me whole.
