Happenstance Rendezvous

@Uootem

on a summer day... somewhere far away from where he's been
he awaits a happenstance rendezvous...  will this be the day she returns?
so many before did not turn out the way he planned... but maybe today
nervous pulse and sweating palms... long awaited moment 
contradict his calm virtues... the mask he wears so that no one sees
the gasp of anticipation... the impatience... through gently parted lips.

he detects his lost lover from afar... on the path's ascending trip
time again stands still and heaven smiles... will they find their destiny here?
he begins to formulate just the right words... as closer she draws near
face to face in that sweet embrace... remembered romance exhales a sigh
he only has eyes for her... and they are thrilled to be filled with her presence
the thirst has found a living fount... from whence it can be filled again

Softly, slowly his heart melts... from the warmth he remembers so well
the dreams of so many silent years transformed... into a moment of fulfillment
their lives entwined together with shared recollections... of a younger day 
when love shone bright as the sun... yet for the division of bone and flesh
pent-up passion sated with its opiate... her voice still stirs his heart
he can still taste her lips... but they only speak to a long known friend.

With the momentary rendezvous now over... she has somewhere else to be
departing, they leave separately... he only wishes to follow, but knows he can't
calling out on the wind, a promise... a hope that he holds so desperately
will the wind ever remember... this meeting it has blown into the past?
or shall it moan so forlornly... knowing that this was the last?
as the sunset marks another day... for a moment, he hums song of love in harmony.
