A Divine Love Story Inspired by Rumi and Astronomy

Walking down the street, feeling lame
I hear someone calling my name
With a voice that makes each syllable sing
With a voice, both seductive and comforting.

I turn around and catch a glimpse
Of her beautiful crimson lips
and her milky white teeth as they peek
Pink roses blooming on her cheeks
Her flowing chestnut hair
that gleams shades of burgundy
as the sunlight pours like honey

It’s her…
It’s the girl
whose blue eyes,
I have never dared,
not even once, to stare
Because when she is around
My heart starts to race
My mind slows to a crawl.
I freeze in my place
and quickly lower my gaze

But this time is different
This time she has me trapped
with my back against the corner
and she slowly walks closer
I try hard to stay on my feet
as the distance shrinks to two feet
With no choice left, I finally look up
Our eyes meet and her gaze locks
I feel lightheaded, my mirror fogs
All I can think of is the smile
in her deep blue eyes
and the galaxy of stars
that joyfully dance inside…
They leave me mesmerized
