There!
...Right there...
I had it.
I FELT it
It enveloped me
...Enlightened me...
Filled me.
...Then it was gone....
...Fleeting....
...falling...
Out of my reach.
AND DAMN
when it fell,
So did I.
I plunged.
Never to have it again
To touch it
Taste it
BE it.
...Just... gone....
And I cry.
Angry. Frustrated. Desperate.
I hurt.
I ache with the longing of it.
To sense it.
The freedom.
The bliss.
To be dancing in it.
With it.
Embraced by it.
...The sweet caress...
...But...
it's gone.
Just a brush of my fingertips
...Is all I was given..
And then
G

I had tasted it.
And it teased me
Taunted me
...And left me...
Reaching,
Hoping
Pleading
Crying
For its return.
...For...
