The ethereal subsided voice I heard, it moved me onward
She towed me along.
This long hair beauty named Cleopatra, she sang to my heart and it was honeyed.
Holding my hand at a quickening speed,
We contended together among the trees and the twisted turnings encircled us
As we were together in this muddled stratosphere
My frame melted into the ether.
I could taste her lips upon mine and appeared like ecstasy
A silhouette of harmony and splendour.
A twinkling of divine.
Marvel and applause.
I saw her eyes sparkle in the moonlight,
And her figure pirouetted around myself.
I could feel the intensity, the serenity and the equanimity.
Calm.
