"The Scent" 6/11/2000

Close your eyes. Remain alert. Let your inhibitions take no stand. Enter a world of darkness, except for the brightness of the stars. Feel it sinking into your flesh overtaking your very soul.

In the distance you can hear the light strains of a haunting melody, as it gets louder and louder. You slowly open your eyes and you are surrounded by the flickering of numerous candles meshing with the radiance of the stars. A breathtaking sight that goes beyond words.

Suddenly she appears out of the blue, all adorn in white, like a floating angel. Her golden hair flowing past her bare shoulders, a sight so breathless you feel like she is transclucent.

She comes closerand takes your hand and you can not resist having her in your arms. You dance as one. The smell of jasmine intoxicates your soul as she rests her cheek next to my shoulder. No one felt so perfect in your arms until now.

You look into the deep blueness of her eyes and willingly drown in them. Like this was where it always belong. You can not resist caressing the silkiness of her bare back as it send shivers down your own spine, as if she was the one touching you instead.

You suddenly stop dancing and face each otherlocked into a burning gaze. Your fingers slowly caress her face and then your fingers lightly touch her lovely lips.

Your lips can not resist hers as you descend upon them. First a mere light touch between you both as you look into her eyes. Without realizing the overwhelming desire succumbs as the kiss becomes deeper and intense, as you close your eyes not fully aware of all the sensations.

Then like a sudden gust of wind, your lips become cold. You open your eyes and she has vanish. There is no sign the she was ever there. Was it all a dream you think to yourself. You give a sigh of disbelief.

Suddenly there is a slight of gust in the air bringing a fain scent of jasmine in the air. A small smile floats on your face as you close your eyes and remember.
