when she saw him walk into her early evening soirée ,
so many things melted away ~
all the bizniz ,
all the formalities ,
all the expectations ,
all the apprehensions ,
all the miscalculations ,
and fresh nuances came to be
.
her brain piqued ,
her heart boomed ,
her intellect teased ,
her body roused ,
her enthusiasm zoomed ~
an alchemic eternal melody ,
suddenly seemed in tune
.
this was the unsinkable, able, smart man ~
she had figuratively known for a decade ,
and yet , not deeply known ,
and not truly seen ,
and not actually heard ,
and not really understood ,
in this softer ~ more mellow ~ filtered light
.
and since that celebratory and revelatory night ,
each time they come together ~
more starlight ,
more delight ,
more sparks ,
more dreams ,
and more mysteries
are revealed to her ,
and uncovered for her ,
and appreciated by her
.
and to this day ,
he continues ~
to mystify her ,
to intrigue her ,
to enchant her ,
to mesmerize her ,
and to encompass her
with his unassuming and
uncomplicated presence
in her life ,
in her mind ,
in her body ,
in her soul ,
in her world
.
all the pink and purple and gold ,
spells and stars and midnight fireflies ~
soar and shine and scintillate
.
all ignited
on that particular eve ,
a mere six months before ,
when he walked up to her ,
and uttered his simple sweet hello .

not much, a.d.o.
