Blind Date. {poetry}
Sweet fog, you come to me
like a lover in the night.
I don’t hear your footsteps
as you move towards me.
I don’t see your eyes
as you watch me,
But I can feel you coming
like a vague sensation.
Still you surprise me
when you wrap your
soft arms around me
and cover me with your milky breath.
I lose myself in you –
in your fragility and in
your subtle touch.
Everything that was sharp before
becomes soft in your presence.
You transport me to a dream
where I travel without baggage.
I feel lost like a sailor without a compass,
as you whisper in my ear.
You welcome me to your land of blindness –
Here I lose my sense of knowing and direction,
but I start a silent dance with you
as my partner.
I hold you as a veil,
and you’re so beautiful
when you follow my whirling body,
through all the white and grey shades,
transparent and trans-illuminated by the sun.
You are my blind date,
and in our meeting I am lost,
and I surrender.
You make me see
what I couldn’t see
when everything was clear.
