4. Enlightenment

Everything was completely dark

and someone turned-on the lights.

It was funny that in a place so stark

you could hear the Dance of Knights.

.

The rhythm of the evening was fast

everything vibrated with life.

All seemed primed for things to last

a dreamy environment in the afterlife.

.

Drowned in his own fog he waited a bit

wondering about time and place.

He smiled and marveled at his own wit

trying to get a better feel of space.

.

She came down the stairs softly

moving slowly diagonally.

He had missed her awfully

questioning if he was looking adequately.

.

There was much grace in her descent

she looked down, then raised her eyes.

The time-space continuum was bent

the prettiest of starry skies.

.

He barely recognized her

she seemed a different atom.

Much less of a blur

more sure than she could fathom.

.

She had made up her mind

she was, after all these days, sure.

She was going to be kind

she managed to find the cure.

.

The walk was downhill

she thought much smoother .

Her heart begun to fill

strangely, it was much smoother.

.

Of her choice

she was again not sure.

You could hear it in her voice

was it perhaps an allure?

.

They were both surprised

when they veered away.

Certainly not what the doctor advised

they were leading each other astray.

.

Even the simplest of thoughts

seemed to change.

They started seeing spots

being together was no longer strange.

.

She was surprised at her reactions

her feelings had switched once more.

Maybe a result of his actions

something was alive after all.

.

He was perplexed and trying hard

was he seeing what was not there?

He decided to risk it and draw another card

there was still precious little time to spare.

.

First the square, then the column

a twist and a turn and some steps.

Talking was quieter more solemn

better eat, if only there were some crepes.

.

They were wondering what it was

that made them change so much.

What was the real cause

that prohibited a touch.

.

Did he say the right things

did she react the right way?

What gave their thoughts wings

and made them both less gray?

.

They spent more time together

it felt nice and easy and sweet.

It was despite of the weather

were they destined to meet?

.

Their eyes closer than ever

two hearts warm and soft.

They were both clever

but left standing in a pigeon loft.

.

In that small table by the slope

they approached hesitantly.

Both wonderful, both clothed in hope

there was a lot bonding them evidently.

.

She looked straight at him

free from all her fears.

She was ready to scream

the happiness and still no tears.

.

He listened to her voice

watched her mannerisms.

He felt happiness, he had no choice

her image coming to him through prisms.

.

She was simultaneously hot and cold

quick electric waves passing right through her.

Everything was bright and gold

a cat next to her had started to purr.

.

He tried to assist her

he wanted her to just speak.

Un-distracted, not wanting to deter

and failed to be cool or sleek.

.

She saw herself in his eyes

a mirror reflection of hers, smiling.

There were no lows, just highs

her emotions started pilling.

.

It was a view to a different reality

a sneak peek to new skies.

She was standing under a silk tree

all transformed by one look of her eyes.

.

It had never been like this

where on earth were they?

And still there was no kiss

just needed to get ready and pay.

.

The time was stretched again

it happened only for them again.

The two of them alone again

pushing their endurance levels again.
