Heart pounding she searched for him
Afraid she would find him real.
Frightened she would find he was not.
Thrills, chills, anticipation, terror,
All filled her body in a flood of emotion
That brought her breath fast, hot.
Mist moved in a wake after each footfall.
Each step taking her further from home.
It frightened her, excited her, drove her on.
Royal blue gown clutched in tight small fists
raised up shielded from rain wet streets.
Flickering lamps lined the walk
but she could barely see.
Chilled air made breath leave in
clouds from trembling cold lips.
Faster she moved searching
yet knowing she need not do so
he would find her.
Faster she moved into the dark
Feeling her very heart would burst.
Just as town gave way to field.
Moonlight and clouds shone in silent sky
Shadows played and danced before her
bringing terror to her mind.
With not a sound perceived
So sudden she dare not breathe
For fear she would surely scream,
He was there.. behind her
arms wrapped tight, protective,
possessive, round her.
Her breath shuddered in release.
What frightens you so little one?
His voice whispered in her ear
Finding you again.. not finding you
her words came in breathless tone
You knew I would come for you
His lips brushed her neck, hungry.
Yes no..
his breath made her tremble.
"This is a mistake..This isnt right
Her body argued with her mind.
This is what we make it ..
She felt herself melt into his embrace.
you are not real..
His kiss made those words a lie
I am as real as you desire..
As I desire?
Tell me little one .. what do you desire?
The words hung heavy in still night air..
She heard her heart pound.
Saw her breath exhaled by moonlight.
Felt weak pressed against his chest
Encircled by his arms
Dare she say aloud what her body screamed?
There is nothing to desire beyond you,
I am yours already..
A smile of triumph graced his handsome face
gently .. holding her .. loving her ..
the kiss on her neck drew blood freely given ..
he took from her humanity..
but gave his love
eternally
Secret Desire
