In the realm of twilight’s gentle sway,
Amidst the strains of music’s lyrical play,
They summoned courage with a heartfelt plea,
And asked me forth to a date, “You and me?”
A tender bloom of anticipation arose
In my maiden voyage, a journey grows,
In the hallowed halls of Piano Man’s grace,
Our destinies entwined, a fateful embrace
Their black shirt, elegant and suave,
A silhouette against the night’s gentle halve
A sartorial choice, a symbol of their might,
Their presence exuded an air of delight
In Dulcet notes, we found our rhythmic sway,
Our souls entangled in an elegant play,
Our hearts began to dance,
Whispering secrets in a harmonious trance
What a day, when innocence did bloom!
As we weaved through chords, dispelling gloom
In the tender touch of the piano’s ivory keys,
We discovered an opus, a love that is to seize
A first date’s story, woven with care
Sublime moments shared beyond compare
The universe conspired bringing us together
In that ethereal realm where dreams tether;
In shadows cast by hearts that bear the weight,
A tale unfolded of their life’s cruel fate
Oh, the truth of love’s shattered domain
And how they found solace through burning rain
In whispered confessions, they bared their soul
With unstrapped honesty, the story took a toll,
The echoes of heartbreak etched upon their face
Aching wounds seeking solace in a not-so-sacred place;
In their weary words, a profound sorrow bled,
A soul entangled in threads of dread
But within the darkness, a flicker remained
A glimmer of hope and love unchained
I let this verse become a tender balm
A whispered prayer, a soothing psalm;
For amidst the trials of life’s intricate maze,
A rebirth awaits in sunlit rays
They cried their eyes out and smoked weed
As if the intoxicating melody got them freed,
In life’s euphoria, we all embrace
They lost themselves to find a higher place
The spectre of despair, a persistent foe
Casting shadows on their tempest’s woe
Through healing tears, the fragrance bloomed-
Or if the shades of hope gloomed?
In the afterglow of this enchanted affair
A love’s potential, hanging in the air,
A ripe poetry unfolded their tale
A lyrical narrative, where hearts sail;
So let this verse witness the treasure
To a maiden’s first date ever so sincere
Where black shirts and dances melded as one
A fleeting moment, but a story’s begun!
In the annals of time, our story shall reside,
A memory cherished, by love’s tender guide
For in Piano Man’s embrace, we dared to be
Two souls converging in sweet harmony!
In the twilight’s embrace our journey led
From Piano Man’s melodies to their homestead
They strummed their guitar, an opus of strings
And watched their blues take wings
Songs danced upon like whispers of the night
Their fingers caressed the chords to light
A harmonious serenade so pure
Drawing us closer, sheltered, and secure;
The late hour eluded sleep from our eyes
Enthralled by music our spirits did rise,
The passing moment made the bond flow
In this nocturnal sanctuary, love’s seeds did sow;
As dawn painted the sky of gold
We went on with being youthful and bold
The country slept still as our melodies entwined
Creating an ethereal moment, rare and kind
Amidst the notes they sought a tender plea,
With eyes speaking volumes they gazed at me
“May I kiss you?” – vulnerability unveiled,
My heart leaped as emotions conquered;
I clenched them tightly in my arms
Our lips ignited vibrant charms
In that tender union, their tears flowed
A heart once shattered, bestowed!
The guitar gently wept a mournful refrain
As they released burdens of pain,
The shared vulnerability made us hold
A love born in music, a story yet untold;
The power of music to heal and mend
To bring together on a journey to transcend,
As we navigated melodies hand in hand
Bound by music, I thought we would stand;
In this unknown, we took comfort so deep,
No promises, but the secrets we would keep,
Followed the veil of uncertainty to explore-
The depths of hearts, uncharted and raw;
In the soft morning light, we stirred from our sleep
A newfound union, so tender and deep,
The essence of being together so clear
A flame that ignited dispelling all fear;
As we savoured our omelette’s delight,
Whispers of rivers like ones during flight,
Every word, every touch spoke volumes unspoken
A connection so rare, in whispers unbroken;
In the comfort of pillows, we found sanctuary
Moments of vulnerability, nurturing and airy;
Marvelling the beauty of the night we shared
A poetry woven of two souls this bared!
Closer as we leaned in an intimate space
We found ourselves lost in heart’s sacred pace
In the dance of seclusion
The consent and the caress – a fusion
The touch of skin like an electric embrace,
A language of desire to not suppress;
A tale unfolded, tender and true
Of souls awakened, feeling anew!
In the depths of body, a fire was lit
A fire so wide, and blazing the sight
Was it that the fire was lit?
Or do we call it a sensual orbit?
